UCLA Law professor Rick Hasen says Elon's lottery is against federal law

UCLA Law professor Rick Hasen on Elon Musk's voter lottery, "So essentially this is a lottery open only to registered voters. It's either an inducement to get someone to register to vote who's not registered or it's a reward. And federal law says you can't do that."

1. Will this stop him?

Better question: will DOJ?

[servermsh]

2. Let's see if Garland does anything n/t

[gab13by13]

4. DOJ doesn't leak.

[Autumn]

10. I'm not gonna say it.

[durablend]

7. Garland unplugged the red phone

[LearnedHand]

3. Requires the Justice Dept to give a shit

Otherwise it's meaningless, just like most of the OTHER federal laws the pukes have broken.

5. Let me guess: the doj won't touch the guy.

6. If any LE agency does anything about it, his excuse will be "I never actually paid anyone a dime

and if you read the really fine print, you'll see hints that I was never actually going to pay anyone. So you see? I'm innocent!" All then all he has to do is get it assigned to a Trump judge.

8. It's very likely against PA law, too

Josh Shapiro has more or less asked our Atty Gen to look into it.

9. Did Garland resign or is he on vacation?

[ecstatic]

11. who's gonna arrest him (boo)?

If someone breaks a law, but there's nobody there who is willing to enforce it, is it still a crime?
