Also not a lawyer, but OPs article is less complete than this article as far as Musk’s operation went.

According to CNBC, the PAC asked website visitors who entered zip codes in battleground states to enter personal data — including dates of birth, full addresses and phone numbers — claiming it would help them register to vote through the site. Users in non-competitive states, however, were directed to their states’ official voter registration pages.

Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia were among the battleground states where visitors to America PAC’s website did not receive help submitting their voter registration despite the site claiming it would provide assistance, CNBC noted.

The site said it would help them register, took their information then, if they weren’t from a battle ground state, forwarded them to their state’s voter registration page. If they were from a battleground state, the site harvested their information, said thanks, and then failed to register them. That is likely fraud according at least two different states that are investigating the matter.
