One Key State Allows Musk to Pay $1 Million to Undecided Voters

In one of the key states, Musk was allowed to pay a million dollars to undecided voters Yaroslav Pogonchuk

A Philadelphia court has allowed Elon Musk to raffle off a million dollars a day among voters who have not yet decided on their candidate. Despite the district attorney's attempts to block the initiative as an illegal lottery, the judge dismissed the lawsuit.

This was reported by Channel 24, citing Reuters. The agency noted that such a distribution falls into a gray area of ​​​​electoral law.

In which state was Musk allowed to raffle off a million

During a hearing in Philadelphia on Monday, November 4, Judge Angelo Foglietta rejected District Attorney Larry Krasner's attempt to block the million-dollar payments from Musk. The prosecutor called the program an illegal lottery with unclear rules that violated state consumer protection laws.

The agency noted that this distribution is in the gray area of ​​​​electoral legislation. At the same time, legal experts have different views on the possibility of Musk violating federal law by prohibiting payments to people for registering to participate in elections.

According to media reports, the US Department of Justice warned the American Coalition Committee that the distribution of money may be illegal under federal law. However, federal prosecutors have not yet taken any public action.

Note that Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania, one of seven states that could significantly influence the outcome of the election between Republican Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. The winner of this state will receive 19 electoral votes needed to achieve a total victory of 270 votes.

Recall that Musk previously promised to pay a random voter $1 million if they voted for his petition on freedom of speech and gun ownership, which will last until the US presidential election. He also handed over the first check in the amount of $1 million.
