The US government has warned Elon Musk's campaign America PAC. Under this, Musk announced to give 1 million dollars (Rs. 8.4 crore) to the voters who voted before the election in America. According to CNN, the Justice Department said this is illegal.
In fact, the voting process starts a few days before the election in America. This is called early voting. Musk also presented $1 million checks to a man and a woman in Pennsylvania on Saturday and Sunday. Monday's winner was selected from North Carolina, his team said.
Trump's benefit from Musk's scheme, how harm to Kamala? America's Biden government is upset with Musk's campaign. In fact, Musk is supporting former President Donald Trump in the US elections. They are spending millions of dollars on Trump. The announcement of giving money to the voters is also connected with this. Its purpose is to create an environment in favor of the Republican Party in swing states.
In fact, swing states are states where there is competition between two parties. Every vote plays an important role here. In such a situation, Musk's campaign may take away some voters from Kamala. The main reason is that the conditions that Musk has set for winning 8 crores match the election promises made to Trump.
Musk said- this plan is not for any one party Democratic leaders are calling Musk's initial plan a violation of the law. Pennsylvania's Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, said Musk's announcement was deeply troubling. Musk has argued in his defense on social media that the winner is chosen by lottery. They do not know whether he is a supporter of the Republican or Democratic Party. They can belong to any party.

How important is early voting to win elections in America? Advance polling has already been done in American elections before this. However, in previous elections, pre-poll voting was dominated by Democrats, but this time Republicans have started taking the lead in some major states.
Before 1988, there were only 6 states where early voting was prevalent. Early voting has increased since 1992 before elections. 7% voted in the 1992 elections. According to NBC, 14.5 million people could vote before the election this year. It is about 70%.
About 60% of Democrat and 32% of Republican voters voted by mail in 2020, according to the MIT Election Data and Science Lab. Obviously, Biden got the benefit of this in the last election as well. This is the reason why former President Donald Trump has made a statement against advance polling several times. He says that there has been fraud in voting by mail.
However, the Republican Party is encouraging voters to vote early in this election.
