It's unfortunately a matter that is best left to political legal experts than grassroots.

Grassroots energy just wants to raise money and get to work, but the legal experts are critical to make sure the organization is filing all the paperwork and presenting in a manner that is legally compliant. It really is a tightrope to walk and it's why sometimes you see folks like Musk seemingly get away with anything but some little organization in Georgia gets the hammer dropped on them.

Well-intended laws like this sometimes end up benefiting the powerful, because they are the only ones that can afford to navigate them.
