Cotton referred to America PAC’s innovative strategy of awarding millions of dollars to voters, in an effort to boost voter registration in a series of swing states. Gov. Josh Shapiro (D., Penn.) helped kick the Democratic Party’s opposition to Musk into high-gear when he said that Musk’s efforts are “deeply concerning.” Musk responded that it is “concerning that he would say such a thing.”

Cotton also knocked the DOJ for its apparent double standard in expressing concerns about voter registration drives. “Left-wing organizations often promote voter-registration sweepstakes,” Cotton wrote. “For example, HeadCount Inc. offers potential voters a chance to ‘win a VIP experience at RuPaul’s Drag Race’ for checking their voter-registration status or beginning the voter-registration process. Michelle Obama’s voter-registration group offered individuals who provided their registration information a chance to win a free trip to Las Vegas. These left-wing groups are just as surely trying to register potential voters with their sweepstakes as is America PAC.”

“But where are the threats of legal consequences for liberals?” Cotton added. “Have you sent Michelle Obama an intimidating letter? I think the question answers itself, of course, and demonstrates yet again how you have weaponized the Department of Justice against not only President Trump, but also his supporters.”
