More than 100,000 people registered to vote in 24 hours following a Tesla giveaway by Youtube star David Dobrik.

In 24 hours, over 100,000 Americans have registered to vote through our Tesla giveaway led by YouTube creator @DavidDobrik. It’s extra inspiring to know that David is a “Dreamer” (DACA recipient) who can’t vote in the U.S, but has used his platform to help others. #GoodToVote pic.twitter.com/1g9OXiYtlY

The Youtube star is a Slovak immigrant and a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. As a noncitizen, he is not eligible to vote in the upcoming presidential election, which could wind up determining the fate of the DACA program.
Dobrik’s voter registration push comes nearly a month away from Election Day.
A recent poll showed young voters back Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden over President Trump by a 2-to-1 margin.
