**Georgia Election Board Reprimands Elon Musk's America PAC for Pre-filled Absentee Ballot Applications**
The Georgia State Election Board has issued a reprimand to Elon Musk's America PAC over allegations of violating state election law by sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. The applications, sent to residents in Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd, and Whitfield counties, were found to be partially filled with voter information and failed to comply with requirements stating they were not official ballots and were not provided by the government.
The board met on February 18th to discuss the matter and swiftly handed down the reprimand. America PAC did not appear to send a representative or submit a statement in defense of its actions. This reprimand comes amidst ongoing concerns about election integrity, as Musk has previously suggested paying people to sign petitions and register to vote in several swing states.
The incident serves as another example of allegations against those claiming to be most concerned with election integrity potentially violating the law. The America PAC incident follows a series of controversial actions by Musk regarding U.S. election laws, including his repeated suggestions for paying people to register to vote in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and other key states.
