Don’t register to vote on Elon Musk’s AmericaPAC website. Do this instead. (www.popsci.com)

TLDR: Register with http://vote.gov

Elon Musk announced his newest venture, AmericaPAC, shortly after publicly endorsing Donald Trump for re-election last month. Since then, FEC filings show the billionaire’s political group has already sunk millions of dollars into canvassing, digital media, text message services, and phone call efforts across swing states in support of the former president.

But while the official AmericaPAC website is supposedly intended to help visitors register to vote, the user experience varies depending on where you live. For some, AmericaPAC offers your state’s registration website; others, however, simply get a blank page after entering their personal information. And that could be a problem when it comes to laws prohibiting voter suppression.

[...]

Multiple attempts to contact AmericaPAC through its media submission portal resulted in a message reading, “Your submission failed because of an error.”
