Wisconsin AG seeks Supreme Court order to block Musk's $2 million voter payments

Wisconsin's Attorney General Josh Kaul has requested the state Supreme Court to block Elon Musk from awarding $1 million prizes to two voters at an event in Green Bay, just days before a crucial Supreme Court election. Kaul argues that Musk's actions violate state election bribery laws by offering something of value to encourage voting. Despite previous rejections from lower courts, Kaul emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that awarding the prizes could undermine public confidence in the election's validity. Musk's political action committee has invested significant funds in the race, supporting Republican-backed Judge Brad Schimel against Democrat-backed Judge Susan Crawford. Musk's offer to give away the money has drawn criticism as a corrupt attempt to influence voters, echoing a similar tactic used in previous elections. The high-stakes judicial race has already shattered spending records, with over $90 million involved in the contest for control of the court.
