Pennsylvania Judge Allows Elon Musk's America PAC $1 Million-a-Day Voter Sweepstakes in Swing States

A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes can continue. The decision came after Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner sought an emergency preliminary injunction to stop the contest, which is being run by Musk's America PAC. The judge, Angelo Foglietta, rejected Krasner's argument that the sweepstakes was an illegal lottery violating state law. Musk's legal team successfully argued that no additional lottery winners would come from Pennsylvania, which may have influenced the judge's decision. The sweepstakes, set to end on November 5, will continue through Tuesday's presidential election and is aimed at registered voters in swing states.
