Elon Musk's $1 million lottery went to two Republicans who had already voted

Elon Musk's  million lottery went to two Republicans who had already voted

At least two of the three Pennsylvania voters who have won MAGA billionaire Elon Musk's controversial $1 million super PAC lottery so far are registered Republicans who have already voted, according to Politico reported. The first two winners, John Dreher and Kristine Fishell, sent mail-in ballots before winning the purse, which will be awarded daily by America PAC through Election Day, state records cited by the outlet show. Politico said that raises the question of whether Musk's multimillion-dollar stunt primarily attracts fans of Musk and former President Donald Trump rather than the swing voters needed to win the election. The voting status of the third winner, Shannon Tomeiwas not immediately clear. Some experts said Musk's lottery amounted to illegal vote buying, while America PAC and Musk said no party affiliation was required to register and that voters simply had to sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights. However, the petition requires signatories to share their valuable personal information with the committee, which is using voter information on behalf of the Trump campaign to target voters ahead of the election. So far, Musk has donated $75 million to his pro-Trump group.
