    Ready to Register has taken steps to conceal who runs the organization, but the website’s source code links back to another group affiliated with Elon Musk’s America PAC (…) The site’s code also states that providing a phone number and email address means consenting to contact from America PAC. Representatives for the PAC declined to comment.

    Designed to appear official, the letters feature a seal and bold text reading “IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED” and “OFFICIAL DOCUMENT ENCLOSED.” Georgia’s Paulding County election board publicly clarified that it did not send them.

    North Carolina Board of Elections spokesman Jason Tyson told The Washington Post that the agency contacted Ready to Register but received no response. The organization is not under investigation because officials have not found evidence that it broke any law.

    “Stuff like that is kind of fishy,” Tyson said. “This organization appears to be operating with poor, maybe nefarious, intentions.”

    If “kinda fishy” is all you can bring up against such election *cough* irregularities, the whole system is pretty useless as the main tool of democracy.
