Comments by "" (@shamrock141) on "Musk's $1,000,000 Voting Lottery Illegal?" video.
Offering someone money or gifts to vote or to register to vote is a federal crime. The lottery is connected to a petition that requires people to submit their voter registration number, that can be argued as incentivising people to register to vote for financial rewards

@Thefinetime there is, registered voters in certain swing states are offered money to sign the petition. The most lucrative is in Pennsylvania, where they are being offered $100 to sign the petition.

What you consider lies is not a federal crime

@andrenutbrown2284 yes it does, we all have eyes. You have to submit your contact details and voter registration to America PAC to sign the petition, which is staunchly pro-Trump, otherwise why would this offer only be in swing states

The candidate doesn't matter, paying or offering someone something to register to vote is a federal crime, and the petition requires you to be a registered voter. It's an obvious loophole

Yes, voting for someone for the policies they are proposing after they get elected is not the same as being offered money to vote before they are elected.

Paying or offering someone something to vote is a federal crime, regardless of the candidate

@pointmaker8833 you have to be a registered voter to sign the petition, it's essentially just a loophole. In order to enter the giveaway you must register or be registered to vote and give America-PAC your contact details

Where?

Because you have to submit your contact details and voter registration to America PAC, which is staunchly pro-Trump

It's actually not. Paying or offering someone something to vote or register to vote, regardless of the candidate, is a federal crime

@dratrav the petition giveaways are only for registered voters, one can easily make the case that it induces voter registration. The petition asks for your contact details and voter registration number, which is sent to America PAC, if they're checking the numbers written on the petitions they can easily check the validity of a voter registration number and filter those signatories for prizes
