Wisconsin AG Files Appeal To Stop Musk’s Voter Bribes

The Washington Post reports:

Wisconsin’s Democratic attorney general asked the state Supreme Court on Sunday to block presidential adviser Elon Musk from awarding $1 million prizes to voters for casting ballots in a high-stakes race for control of the court.

State Attorney General Josh Kaul made the request 11 hours before Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, planned to give out two $1 million prizes at an event in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Kaul’s filing puts the justices in the awkward position of weighing the legality of Musk’s efforts two days before voters decide whether liberals keep their 4-3 majority on the court.

Musk initially said Sunday’s event — and prize money — would be open only to those who have voted early “in appreciation for you taking the time to vote.” After legal scholars questioned the plan, Musk deleted an initial post about the event and then said it would be open to Wisconsin registered voters who signed a petition opposing activist judges.
