For the folks wanting to try something along the lines of “how is it illegal?!”
It’s not the signing a document that supports 1A and 2A. That’s not the illegal part. It’s the requiring being a registered voter and having a lotto with cash money attached to it. Musk is perfectly fine to have a lotto for people who support 1A and 2A and want to sign a document saying so. He just can’t attach “you must be a registered voter” to those terms and conditions, that’s the part that makes it illegal.
All the other parts, if that’s how he wants to blow his money. That’s his money. But he just can’t attach that one term to that process. Likely is that someone will ask him to drop the term and leave it at that. But if Musk starts being a penis about well then yeah, it’s a Federal law and can be made messy if folks don’t want to comply. It’s likely why he’s pulling this, this close to election day, figures that no AG would get it in front of a Judge fast enough. But I mean, get an AG angry enough, they can start making things happen on a faster time scale.
But yeah, there’s not really a question about what Musk is doing if it’s illegal or not. It’s very much not legal. But the ramifications are likely for the State AG to ask Musk to drop that condition or get yanked in front of a Judge.
