    click on register to vote and they keep your data when you do. I wonder what other FOT (friends of trump) he will be sharing the data with.

    Musk-backed PAC under investigation for potential violations of Michigan laws (msn.com)

    A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk is under investigation in Michigan for possible violations of state laws, a spokesperson for the Michigan secretary of state's office said in a statement on Sunday.

    The Musk-backed America PAC has been acquiring detailed voter information from those living in Michigan and other states after people have submitted their personal data through a section on the PAC's website that says "register to vote," CNBC reported earlier.

    "While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law. We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General's office as appropriate," a spokesperson for Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's secretary of state, said in a statement to Reuters.

    "Every citizen should know exactly how their personal information is being used by PACs, especially if an entity is claiming it will help people register to vote in Michigan or any other state," a spokesperson for the Michigan Department of State said in an email to Reuters.

    Under investigation by liberals, when they cannot show or prove any legal violations.

    Nonsense. You are begging the question.

    Investigations are conducted to determine if any legal violations have occurred, not based on preconceived outcomes.

    Do you think taking people's personal information under false pretenses and not disclosing its future use doesn't warrant review?

    They voluntarily entered their information on the website.

    The Michigan Secretary of State is a Democrat. Read your own article.

    It's more insidious than what was described in the OP.

    If you click 'register to vote' and live in a safe state like Cali or Mississippi, you get directed to the state website to register. If you live in a purple/swing state, the site collects all your info and then sends you to a page that just says 'thank you' leading you to believe you registered.

    This is on top of Twitter blocking any pro Harris account with lots of engagement.

    He belongs under a jail for this and many other reasons.

    I read the accusation that it is not giving some people the correct voter registration form … could be a programming error, could be intentional if the information enter seemed pro Democrat … that should be investigated.

    Edit… gatorchamp beat me to it.

    How American? Democrats wanting to throw Republicans in jail, while inciting violence, defunding police and flying illegals into Republican states.

    Under false pretenses.

    Why are you defending the deception of voters for their personally identifiable information (PII)? In no other context would people find this scam acceptable. It's analogous to phishing.

    If someone offered you $1,000 for your PII and then failed to pay, would you just brush it off? Or would you feel deceived and concerned about the potential ramifications?

    I remember the days when republicans believed criminals should go to jail. Now you have to check their voter ID card before any determination can be made apparently.

    I remember the days that Democrats protected the border, funded the police, knew what gender they are, Kamala Harris threw blacks in jail and withheld evidence that would exonerate them, and gave a crap about the country and its history.

    When Democrats investigate Democrats, they determine that Biden is too old and incompetent to stand trial, but can still run the country.

    In a MAGA rathole you'll go,
    To a bunker deep down below,
    Where stupidity's praised,
    And no books are appraised,
    With hat racks lined up in a row.
