...because that feckless, dickless chump Merrick Fucking Garland won't do shit because he's as bought and paid for as the rest of them. Trying to not appear partisan by... being deeply partisan in letting go of Republican crimes?

I don't understand, why is this a lawsuit instead of an arrest warrant?

Because it's a federal crime and the feds aren't doing anything about it.

Penn also has laws against bribing voters.

Yes, but you see, Elon is rich so it doesn't matter.

The article says they're treating this as an illegal lottery; maybe the state's voter bribery laws don't cover this particular scheme and the lawsuit is plan B.

This practice is really a banana republic practice. It's like handing out cash in party flyers in corrupted banana republics.

Okay, we've got to quit only "suing" people who commit FELONIES and pretending that's good enough!!

Cool.

But Elon is rich so we all know the law doesn't apply to him. I am only gonna start smiling when he actually faces consequences.

If it's illegal for him to offer the payment then it's illegal for them to accept the payment according to the federal statute. So, if I was a winner I wouldn't count on being a millionaire forever.
