Per Guardian live feed by Rachel Leingang:
I spoke to a man gathering signatures for America PAC, Elon Musks outfit thats offering people $47 per person they get to sign a petition that supports the first and second amendments.
Those signers then can win a $1m prize.
The man, who said his name is Ryan Johnson, said hes been gathering signatures for various candidates and causes across the country for eight years, one of many traveling circulators who pop from state to state depending on whos paying.
He said the America PAC petition is the highest paying petition ever, with a typical rate for signatures for a ballot measure or candidates being a few dollars per signature.
