During Moore's 60-city tour of college campuses and arenas he has been getting habitual non-voters on stage to pledge they will vote in the next election.
In exchange for promising to vote they receive gifts of potato crisps and noodles, among other small items.
The Michigan Republican Party has asked prosecutors to investigate, accusing Moore of violating a law which prohibits a person from contracting with another for something of value in exchange for agreeing to vote.
