Crucially, the PAC's voter registration page didn't work properly and
still doesn't work. No one using it would be registered to vote. The
concern here is that residents of Michigan, a contested battleground
state, as well as people in other swing states, might think they've
registered to vote via this website, only to discover too late that
they're not.

The purported voter registration page invited people to enter their
personal information. "It takes less than two minutes to register!"
the page reads.

After submitting an email address and ZIP code on that page, the site
loads an additional form that asks for your name, email (pre-filled
from the prior form), cell phone, address, city, state, and postal
code (pre-filled from the prior form).

Clicking on the "Proceed" button then loads a message referencing the
state associated with the provided ZIP code. For example: "Thank you
for taking the first step to register to vote in MICHIGAN. Please
complete the form below and we will help you complete your
registration."

Except there's no form loaded below this message. And no voter
registration took place.
