On October 21, Jinshi data, billionaire Elon Musk promised on Saturday to give away $1 million a day to people who sign his online petition before the November U.S. presidential election, with the grand prize to be awarded in support of the Republican Donald Trump’s PAC activities. On Saturday night, questions were raised about the legality of these cash payments, with election law experts pointing out that various provisions in federal law prohibit cash payments to voters. Paying people to induce or reward them for voting or registering is a federal crime punishable by imprisonment. The Department of Justice’s Election Crime Manual states that this prohibition covers not only monetary payments, but also anything of monetary value, such as alcohol or lottery opportunities.
