Wisconsin judge won't stop Musk's $1 million payments to voters. Attorney general appeals
A Wisconsin appellate court has denied the state Democratic attorney general’s request to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters at a rally planned for Sunday, just two days before a closely contested Supreme Court election.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wisconsin state bribery statute. I'm not seeing any wiggle room here. Someone should check this judge's finances.
Yeah that's really clear. You cannot pay $1 or more to make someone go vote regardless of who it's for.
Honestly I expected a requirement of it being for a specific candidate, it nope, you cannot pay someone to vote. Except he's going to and nothing will happen because the American laws mean absolutely nothing.
He's in the class of people protected by the law but not bound by it, and we're in the class of people bound by the law but not protected by it.
It is a violation of the statute to even offer to pay someone to vote or not vote. He doesn't even need to actually pay them.
I think you meant American laws mean nothing once you've achieved a high enough level of wealth... the rest of us out here certainly get punished for violations.
At this level it doesn't even have to be a bribe. I'm sure the judge is aware of stochastic terrorism. They may just want to continue living and be genuinely afraid of what sort of mob twitter could reign down on them.
