Elon Musk’s super PAC has been emphasizing “ballot curing” in the final days of the presidential campaign, a highly expensive strategy meant to pick up a few additional votes in a razor-thin election.
Mr. Musk’s group, America PAC, has sent a new last-minute field team into the state of Pennsylvania, according to two people with knowledge of the move who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it. One of the people said it was described to him as an “emergency” squad. A spokesman for America PAC declined to comment….
The fact that Mr. Musk’s super PAC is also pushing “ballot curing” in Pennsylvania suggests that, in the final hours, he and his team think the state will be very tight and that curing even a few ballots could be worth it to help Mr. Trump win the state.
Blitz Canvassing, a large contractor of America PAC, is leading the ballot curing operation for the super PAC in Pennsylvania, the people with knowledge of the move say. Blitz Canvassing has not been involved in the super PAC’s Pennsylvania door-knocking operations to date, making it all the more notable.
