According to the survey measurements carried out by the FiveThirtyEight website, the Democratic candidate surpasses Trump by 1.8 points, obtaining 48.2% of the voting intentions. The Justice Department of the United States has warned Elon Musk that his initiative of a one million dollar electoral lottery for registered voters in key states could be violating federal law, CNN reported.
The Justice Department sent a letter to America PAC, Musk's political action committee, indicating that paying people to register to vote is prohibited by federal law. It is unclear whether this communication has reached Musk or if it has prompted changes in the strategy.
On November 5, presidential elections will be held in which former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will compete. According to what was mentioned on October 20, the winners of Musk's lottery, who are not obligated to vote or belong to any political party, will act as spokespersons for the America PAC committee.
The dynamic of Musk's "lottery" involves the possibility of winning one million dollars randomly by signing a petition in favor of the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution of the United States. To participate, it is necessary to be registered in pivotal states for the elections on November 5, such as Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, or Wisconsin.
Musk has defended the initiative against criticisms that suggest he is primarily incentivizing the registration of Republican voters.
