Summary

Elon Musk handed $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters at a Sunday rally supporting conservative court candidate Brad Schimel ahead of the state’s pivotal Supreme Court election.

But the state Supreme Court, which is currently controlled 4-3 by liberal justices, declined to take the case as an original action and gave no rationale for its decision.

Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul argued the payments violated election law.

Musk’s groups have spent over $20 million in the race, which has drawn more than $81 million in total spending.

    God dammit guys. 4-3 Libs in favor and they decline to take it on. This just feels like more of the same from our side.

        40% identify as conservative, 40% as moderate, and 20% (25 in a good year) identity as liberal.

        Like it or not, your leftist agenda can only be achieved by working with those you’d rather not. Refusing to do so and not formulating a strategy to get them onboard with your agenda is detrimental to every goal you have.

          Why would any of those people ever help with my leftist agenda? I’m not going to work with fascists or other genocide-enjoyers just to have someone to work with. I’m just hoping that well meaning libs will eventually get tired of having the rug pulled out from under them by the people they elect.

            Well then, you’re certainly never going to accomplish anything. Just have a fake sense of moral superiority as everything is taken away from you.
