Election officials in North Carolina and Georgia are warning of suspicious mailers from an organization linked to Elon Musk after recipients complained that the letters used outdated names and addresses, or were sent to dead voters.<\/p>\n

The organization, Ready to Register, took steps to conceal who\u2019s behind it. But the website\u2019s source code links to another group affiliated with Musk\u2019s political outfit, America PAC, suggesting the websites share the same operator. The website\u2019s code<\/a> also says, \u201cBy providing your telephone number and email, you consent to receive emails, calls, and text messages from America PAC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Representatives for the PAC declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Voters and local election officials started complaining last week about mailers from Ready to Register, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections and the Paulding County, Georgia, Board of Elections and Voter Registration. The bulk mailing included outdated voter-registration applications listing political parties that are not currently recognized in North Carolina and incorrect return mailing addresses for voters in New Hanover County, which contains the city of Wilmington.<\/p>\n

The letters appear official, with a seal and bold text saying \u201cIMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED\u201d and \u201cOFFICIAL DOCUMENT ENCLOSED.\u201d The Paulding County board publicly clarified<\/a> that it did not send the mailers.<\/p>\n

The North Carolina board made a public statement<\/a> seeking to reduce confusion and contacted Ready to Register but has not received a response, spokesman Jason Tyson said. The organization has not done anything illegal and is not under investigation, he added.<\/p>\n

Legitimate organizations usually meet with election officials before sending bulk voter-registration mailings and do not make mistakes such as listing incorrect parties, Tyson said. He said the board could not currently tell whether the errors were the result of sloppy work or trying to mislead voters.<\/p>

\u201cStuff like that is kind of fishy,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cThis organization appears to be operating with poor, maybe nefarious, intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Voter registration was historically led by official parties or well-recognized community groups, but secretive entities that don\u2019t disclose their staff or donors have increasingly gotten involved as the Supreme Court weakened federal campaign finance rules. Musk\u2019s voter-registration efforts in 2024 included a drawing for a $1 million giveaway, a tactic that survived legal challenges from some officials and watchdogs.<\/p>\n

The latest letters were signed by a project coordinator named Erik Leigh, whom The Washington Post was unable <\/b>to locate in public records. The organization used a post office box in Alexandria, Virginia, and its incorporation records in Delaware used a corporate agent that disguises its ownership.<\/p>\n

The phone number listed on Ready to Register\u2019s Facebook advertiser account<\/a> was not in service. The account showed ads running since late June targeting Facebook users in North Carolina, Georgia and Ohio.<\/p>\n

Musk, the world\u2019s richest man who briefly became the first trillionaire with June\u2019s public offering of SpaceX stock, has spent more money on politics than any person in history \u2014 more than $250 million to support President Donald Trump and other Republicans in 2024. He has not publicly specified his plans for the 2026 midterms, but his relationship with Trump has recovered from their clash last year over the president\u2019s domestic spending package and Musk\u2019s temporary role in charge of shrinking the federal workforce.<\/p>
