For all his bluster about voter fraud, Elon Musk has been one of the most flagrant flaunters of US election law. Now his America PAC has been slapped with a reprimand by the Georgia State Election Board for sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. State law prohibits anyone, other than an authorized relative, from sending an absentee ballot application prefilled with the elector’s information.
Residents of Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd, and Whitfield counties reported receiving absentee ballot applications from America PAC, partially pre-filled. According to the State Election Board, the applications also failed to note that they were not actual ballots and were not provided by the government, as is required by law.

So, Musk will be brought up on charges and prosecuted, right?
No?
Oh. So, more of the same as we walk the country into a dictatorship and fraudulent elections for the midterms.

Yeah, didn’t Musk admit that if Trump lost the campaign that he’d go to jail. It tracks.

Yes. And that is treasonous.

They shoulda assessed the maximum fine the law allows. Not just some little slap on the wrist.

Let’s stop saying he/they violated the law and start making arrests!

So, did they seize the ballots to retrieve the evidence that Musk rigged this thing?

Great…now is there any punishment? Or was it just his firmly worded letter that I’m sure will have him shaking in his boots…

Can at least one person get arrested for their crimes?

I bet Trump and Elon did that in every swing state and next election now that they stole all the Social Security data they’ll do it with even more precision with the data.
Lock em all up and seize their assets.

Does this law have a consequence when broken?
If yes, do those consequences apply to the 1%?

Time for recounts… Man could you imagine a world where Kamala rightfully takes office from Trump?

Congrats Republicans! You finally caught a real elections interference case! Now let me go get my popcorn while you’re deciding how to either ignore this, or blame it on Obama or something.

So remember, if you [hand a bottle of water](https://atlantaciviccircle.org/2024/02/14/explainer-yes-the-georgia-election-law-featured-in-curb-your-enthusiasm-is-real/) to someone waiting to vote, it’s off to jail for you. But mass-distribute a pamphlet disguised as a pre-filled absentee ballot meant to confuse (and possibly incriminate) voters, and they’ll give you a reprimand that you don’t even have to show up for.

How has it take this long for this to come out?
No shit, now put out a warrant for that child raping nazi
Republicans and fake ballots, how unexpected! /s
Guy broke the law, so prison, right?
Start putting these rich fucks in prison for good
October 2024: “Hey, look at this illegally completed ballot application someone was mailed.”
16 months later: “Dear Elon, that was a naughty illegal thing you did. Tut-tut.”
Nice work, Georgia 👍
