Contributing sentiments towards policy:
47% : Musk's ham-handed scheme is designed to induce new registrations of voters who are likely to vote for Trump while appearing to comply with the law.47% : The enticement doesn't ensure that the signers will vote -- or that they will vote for Trump -- and they may already be registered.
28% : Musk and Trump don't care about those people or whether they go home with checks.
22% : But the department's letter was sent days ago without public comment, and its reported warning that the lottery may be illegal isn't likely to petrify scofflaws such as Musk and Trump.
20% : Trump and Musk, however, are more likely to laugh it off.
