A Political Action Committee (PAC) backed by Elon Musk, is being Investigated by the Michigan Secretary-of-State's Office. Musk said He Created and helped Fund the "America PAC", which is supporting Trump, is being investigated amid efforts to Collect Voter data.
The PAC has been acquiring detailed Voter Information from those Living in Michigan, and other Battleground States, after People submit their Personal Data through a Section on the PAC's Website that says "Register-to-Vote."
After clicking on the tab, Users in States like Michigan can submit a ZIP Code, Address, and Phone Number.
People with a Michigan Address are brought to a Page that says "Thank You" and asks Users to "complete the form below" to help Wrap-Up the Voter Registration Process. As of Sunday afternoon, though, there was No other Form to Complete below the words "Thank You."
"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 Spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary-of-State's Office said in a Statement.
"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," the Spokeswoman added.
Also, the State is Investigating if the website does Not directly Register People to Vote.
A Person with direct Knowledge of the PAC's Operations said at One point since the Group Registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in May, the Links on the Website were functioning Properly, but admits now they're Not.
The Group is planning to launch a New Website in the coming weeks.
Jocelyn Benson (D), is Michigan's Secretary-of-State, and the Lead Election Official in the State. She has been a Vocal Opponent of Election-related Misinformation and taken on such Statements made by Trump.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has Sued Benson and other Michigan Democrats, at least Twice this year, according to Legal Records.
"It is very troubling for any candidate or PAC funded project to deliberately fail to provide information or a link to register to vote when someone asks because they could potentially vote for the opposing candidates," Massaron said in an email.
