They need to investigate fElon and Peter Nil, er Thiel.

Michigan probes Musk-backed PAC site that weirdly failed promise to help people register to vote
www.theregister.com

... Crucially, the PAC's voter registration page didn't work properly and still doesn't work. No one using it would be registered to vote. The concern here is that residents of Michigan, a contested battleground state, as well as people in other swing states, might think they've registered to vote via this website, only to discover too late that they're not.

The purported voter registration page invited people to enter their personal information. "It takes less than two minutes to register!" the page reads.

After submitting an email address and ZIP code on that page, the site loads an additional form that asks for your name, email (pre-filled from the prior form), cell phone, address, city, state, and postal code (pre-filled from the prior form).

Clicking on the "Proceed" button then loads a message referencing the state associated with the provided ZIP code. For example: "Thank you for taking the first step to register to vote in MICHIGAN. Please complete the form below and we will help you complete your registration."

Except there's no form loaded below this message. And no voter registration took place. ...
