Elon Musk's offer to give away $1 million to a random voter daily until election day, tied to a petition, raises serious legal dilemmas under federal election law.
Rick Hasen highlights that Musk's initiative may violate federal law, specifically 52 USC 10307 (c), by offering financial incentives to register or vote.
Governor Josh Shapiro expressed concern over Musk's pledge, noting its legality is uncertain but indicates that it may warrant examination by law enforcement.
Legal experts suggest Musk's sweepstakes, which only allows registered voters to participate, complicates matters further, possibly leading to prosecution or civil lawsuits.
