Despite all his claims about voter fraud, Elon Musk has been one of the most prominent campaigners for US election law. Now his America PAC has been reprimanded by the Georgia State Board of Elections for sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. State law prohibits anyone other than an authorized relative from sending an absentee ballot application filled with voter information.
Residents in Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd and Whitfield counties reported receiving partially pre-filled absentee ballot applications from America PAC. According to the State Elections Board, the applications also did not note that they were not genuine ballots and were not provided by the government, as required by law.
The panel issued a swift rebuke at the state election board’s meeting on Feb. 18. America PAC did not appear to send any representatives or present any statements in defense of its actions.
It’s the latest example of Musk testing the limits of election law, after he repeatedly suggested paying people to sign a petition and vote in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and other swing states. This is yet another incident in which those who claim to be most concerned about election integrity have been caught potentially violating the law.
