<p>The Biden-Harris administration threatened X owner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> with criminal prosecution for helping to drive voter turnout in the upcoming election by offering $1 million rewards to registered voters who sign a petition to support the U.S. Constitution.</p>
<p>Musk&#8217;s America PAC states that one winner is being chosen daily in one of the seven swing states if they sign the PAC&#8217;s petition pledging their support for the First and Second Amendments.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible for the prize, those who sign up have to prove that they are registered to vote in one of those states.</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/us/politics/elon-musk-department-of-justice-giveaway.html">reported</a> that the letter from the Biden-Harris Department of Justice warned that the giveaway &#8220;might violate federal laws against paying voters.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report said that the letter is intended to threaten &#8220;a criminal investigation&#8221; if Musk does not stop, even though it&#8217;s not clear if the petition even violates the law.</p>
<p>The letter comes after a group of outcast anti-Trump Republicans sent a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/8f24d8e7-9f44-4ea3-a33d-b7de2187f438.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_2">letter</a> to the Biden-Harris DOJ this week demanding that they stop Musk&#8217;s efforts.</p>
<p>The move from the Biden-Harris administration comes after they have demonized Republican election integrity laws across the country by falsely claiming that they are Jim Crow‑era laws designed to suppress the vote.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, the Biden-Harris administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-harris-admin-files-lawsuit-to-stop-virginia-from-removing-noncitizens-from-voter-rolls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a lawsuit to stop the state of Virginia from removing non-citizens from the voter rolls before the election, even though the effort was in compliance with a law that was signed by Democrats.</p>
<p>“I think it straddles the line, and it’s a little unclear whether it goes over the line or not,” John Fortier, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who specializes in election administration, told NBC News of the Musk giveaway.</p>
<p>Nate Persily, a professor at Stanford Law School, told the network that there really has never been a case like this before, thus &#8220;we’re in new legal territory here.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The relevant legal question is whether this is payment to induce people to register. If it is, then it violates the law,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If it’s payment to induce people to sign a petition, then it’s not a problem.&#8221;</p>
<p>Michael Morse, an assistant professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, told NBC News that he would be surprised if the Biden-Harris DOJ tried to stop Musk before the election because they should have more pressing matters before the election.</p>
<p>He said that he viewed this as an effort &#8220;to build up an email list for contacts, for campaigning, for mobilization.&#8221;</p>
