Donald Trump's ground game in Arizona and Nevada may be undercut by canvassers working for America Pac using GPS spoofing to pretend they have knocked on doors when they haven’t.

A bootleg how-to-spoof video shows the apparent ease with which locations can be changed to fake door-knocks.

The ramifications for Trump may be far reaching, given America Pac has taken on the bulk of the Trump campaign’s ground game.

The problem of suspicious doors in the America Pac field operation underscores the risk of outsourcing a ground-game program, where paid canvassers are typically not as invested in their candidate’s victory compared with traditional volunteers or campaign staff. Musk has so far donated $ 75 m to America Pac in the three months of its existence. Roughly $30 m has been spent on the ground-game operation to drive the Trump vote, with the rest put towards digital and mail advertising for the former president, as well as for down-ballot Republican candidates..
