Musk-backed PAC sends misleading ballot texts to Colorado voters

Original: PSA, Colorado voters: Elon Musk’s America PAC has been sending misleading texts saying, “Your ballot request is in,” and

America PAC, funded by Elon Musk, has been texting Colorado voters messages claiming their ballot request is in and asking them to confirm where and when to return it. The misleading messages have confused residents, prompting many to contact county election offices for clarification. Election officials and voters are raising concerns about the texts as Colorado's mail ballot system is already designed to send ballots to all registered voters automatically.

Why now: The texts are seen as potential voter confusion or misinformation days before the US election.
