MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin appellate court denied the state Democratic attorney general’s request to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters at a rally planned for Sunday, just two days before a closely contested Supreme Court election.

Attorney General Josh Kaul filed the lawsuit Friday, arguing that Musk’s offer violates the law.

Kaul on Saturday later appealed to the state Court of Appeals, after a county court judge refused earlier in the day to hear the request for an emergency injunction to block the payments.

Musk plans a rally Sunday where he intends to give a pair of Wisconsin voters $1 million each for signing an online petition against “activist” judges.

He is also offering $100 to anyone who signs it; he previously gave $1 million to a Green Bay man who signed.

Kaul argued Musk’s promised payments violated a state law making it a felony to give voters anything of value in exchange for them voting.

Kaul asked the court to order Musk to stop promoting the Sunday giveaway and to not make any future payments to Wisconsin voters. »
