PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that Elon Musk’s $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes can continue through Tuesday’s presidential election. Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled Monday after Musk’s lawyers said the winners are not chosen by chance. He did not immediately explain his reasoning. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner had called the sweepstakes a scam that violates state election law and asked that it be shut down. A lawyer for Musk said the voters are hand-picked to be “spokespeople” for his pro-GOP America PAC. Lawyer Chris Gober also said that Monday’s recipient will come from Arizona and Tuesday’s from Michigan.
