Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is suing Elon Musk to shut down his shady (and likely illegal) “voter lottery”. [1]

This is a crucial step towards accountability and putting a STOP to Musk’s scheme, but it won't undo the damage that he has already done. We must still demand a thorough federal investigation into Elon Musk's likely illegal "voter lottery".

This new lawsuit is coming just days after the Department of Justice put Musk on notice – informing him that they’re eyeing his $1 million a day voter lottery scheme as a potential federal crime. [2]

That’s because it’s illegal to pay – or otherwise financially incentivize – people to register to vote (and vote). And when you tack on that his offer is only available to swing state residents who agree with his politics, it’s easy to see why the DOJ is on alert. [3]

Bribing voters is illegal for good reason. The idea of “one person one vote” goes out the window if one billionaire can use his wealth to sway how others cast their ballots.

Our democracy is built on the simple principle that our vote is our voice – and every voice should count the same amount. We can’t allow those with financial power to buy a bigger say at the expense of everyday Americans.
