The Michigan Republican Party has asked four county prosecutors to file charges against Moore, charging that his stunt amounts to bribery.

During each program, habitual nonvoters are invited on stage to pledge to vote. First-time student voters are offered gag prizes such as clean underwear. The GOP said Moore also offered students a clean dorm room, a year's supply of Tostitos and a package of Ramen noodles.
