I do think it's a good sign that Harris is still hitting Arizona and Georgia two weeks out. The Blue Wall must be holding

Then in that case it wouldn't be technically against federal election law as I understand it. Offering money or the chance of money to register to vote is the key to being illegal.

That's a good one.
Around central Florida we remember the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Kind of a Mayo Clinic but for kids. Then there's the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women just around the corner from there....

I used to get paid in Euro with a release of funds directly to a foreign account. The account that bank was associated with was turned into USD upon entry. It's really not that hard.

They don't develop their nichel resources because there is a lot of nichel in this world. Canada and Australlia are the largest producers.
For a country that you believe wants to diversify their energy, they'll be in the dark tonight.

There have been no Caribbean islands I have been to that are what you would call industrial strong. Little resources.
Companies can and do business with Cuba. They just can't use US banking or sell to the US government. It's not slowing Cuba down.

Well, it's an island. So, there's little room for growth in the first place. Secondly,they can and do trade with various countries, including Mexico and Canada, which do a lot of business with the US.

If you have to be a registered voter to sign the petition, you're not paying for someone to register.

Sure you can blame the US first, but we don't run or maintain their electrical plants. There is a paragraph that describes how they get their oil. They pump half of it. B%W, they can buy food from the US. It's not part of the embargo.

As the article indicates, the embargo is not the problem.

“The unusual activity logs, for instance, showed a canvasser who was marked by GPS as sitting at a Guayo’s On the Trail restaurant half a mile away from the doors he was supposedly hitting in Globe, Arizona. Another canvasser was recorded marking voters as “not home” two blocks away from that apartment.”
They aren’t doing it because they believe in Trump or even musk. They are doing it because they’re getting paid.

Hmm hmm
Federal law makes it a crime to pay someone to register to vote.
Musk's scheme is to offer an incentive for signing his right wing petitions - presumably to collect names to be used for GOTV.
While he is requiring that someone has to be registered to vote to be eligible, his legal argument would be that he isn't paying anyone to actually register - just paying already registered voters to sign his petition. Rather than federal election law, the issue may rest on what PA state law says about private raffles and lotteries.
It could certainly be litigated, but there is probably enough grey area for Musk to get away with it.
But the idea that he is handing out money to collect names of people who are already very likely to vote for Trump doesn't really suggest that Musk's huge investment in his pro-Trump GOTV effort is likely to show much success.

My takeaway is doing something about it before the election is probably a mistake. It has to do with reality, not values.
Two farmers from western Wisconsin are speaking out after a meeting last month on agricultural policy with Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden was derailed by the congressman when he and his staff interrupted and yelled at them, taking issue with the farmers’ apparent political affiliations,” the Wisconsin Independent reports.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied Donald Trump’s effort to block a new dossier of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s evidence in the election inference case from becoming public. From the decision: “The court will therefore continue to keep political considerations out of its decision-making, rather than incorporating them as Defendant requests.” Chutkan said she will unseal the evidence tomorrow.
