Elon Musk’s recent offer of a $1 million lottery to anyone who voted in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race appears to directly violate Wisconsin’s laws against vote buying. This isn’t a subtle or indirect influence; it’s a blatant attempt to incentivize participation in the election with a substantial monetary reward. The sheer scale of the prize, coupled with the lack of any stated requirement to vote for a specific candidate, raises serious questions about the legality and ethical implications of his actions.
The concern isn’t merely about the potential for widespread abuse. The act itself appears to be a clear violation of established statutes designed to prevent the distortion of electoral processes through bribery or similar inducements.… Continue reading
President Trump’s sweeping executive order seeks to dramatically expand federal control over elections, potentially disenfranchising millions of voters. The order attempts to restrict voter registration, punish states allowing late-arriving ballots, and utilize federal databases to review state voter rolls, ostensibly to combat rare instances of non-citizen voting. This action is expected to face immediate legal challenges, with several Democratic officials already vowing to sue. The order also directs changes to voter registration procedures and voting system certifications, significantly altering the EAC’s role. Critics argue the order is a politically motivated attempt to suppress voter turnout.

Numerous Canadians and other foreign nationals face arbitrary detention and deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including recent incidents involving a Canadian actress and several European travelers. These detentions, ranging from unfounded accusations to visa errors, have prompted calls for Canadians to avoid U.S. travel. The strained U.S.-Canada relationship, further complicated by President Trump’s rhetoric, exacerbates this situation. This escalating tension underscores the urgent need for Canadian government intervention to protect its citizens’ rights.

Elon Musk’s America PAC is spending over $14 million in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, offering $100 to registered voters who sign a petition opposing “activist judges.” This tactic, similar to one used in the 2020 presidential election, skirts legal lines regarding payment for voting, prompting debate among election law experts. The April 1st election will determine the court’s majority and impact rulings on abortion, unions, and gerrymandering. The race, already exceeding $76 million in spending, features significant contributions from both conservative and liberal mega-donors, targeting voters through the collected petition information.

Conservative foundations and wealthy donors funneled over $1 billion into approximately 150 nonprofits between 2020 and 2022, resulting in widespread voter suppression tactics. These tactics, including voter roll purges and ballot rejection, disproportionately impacted Democratic voters and contributed significantly to the low voter turnout in the 2024 election. This strategic funding enabled the disqualification of millions of votes, demonstrating a direct link between financial investment in voter suppression and the Democrats’ poor showing. To counteract this, increased funding for organizations combating voter suppression and promoting voter registration is urgently needed.

Romania’s response included the expulsion of two Russian diplomats for alleged contact with a Romanian group accused of treason. The MAE further stated that Russia’s frustration stems from its failed attempts to manipulate Romanian elections.

Former Representative Joe Walsh expressed deep concern over President Trump’s perceived impunity, arguing that a lack of consequences has emboldened him to potentially interfere with future elections. Walsh highlighted Trump’s past attempts to overturn election results and suggested that a third presidential bid, coupled with control over the Republican Party, makes further actions, such as defying Supreme Court orders, a realistic possibility. He emphasized the gravity of the situation, urging viewers to recognize the potential danger. This lack of accountability, Walsh argues, leaves Trump feeling untouchable and creates a concerning lack of checks on his power.

Following President Trump’s 2024 election victory, Rep. Maxine Waters launched an investigation into Elon Musk, alleging election interference.
