Record Turnout Shows Americans Reject the Abuses of Power

Yesterday, Wisconsin voters resoundingly rejected candidate Brad Schimel for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Elon Musk personally campaigned for Schimel and spent more than $20 million on the race. Still, Wisconsin voters chose his opponent Susan Crawford by a wide margin in the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history.

Déclaration de Virginia Kase Solomon, présidente et directrice générale de Common Cause

Big money is dangerously out of control in our elections, but the people of Wisconsin just showed that elections belong to the voters, not out-of-state billionaires like Elon Musk.

Wisconsin voters decided this race — not the more than $25 million Elon Musk spent trying to buy the election. Our votes are not for sale. Wisconsin voters turned out in record numbers to show they are sick and tired of Elon trying to buy influence in our government.

This election is a warning to Elon Musk and all other corrupt billionaires. Voters still hold the ultimate power no matter how much money is spent.
