#ElonMusk has been giving $1M checks to randomly selected people who sign a petition pledging support for #FreeSpeech [#HateSpeech & #disinformation] #GunRights.

The offer is limited to registered voters in 1 of 7 states that will likely decide the outcome of the Nov 5 #election - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania & Wisconsin.

The #billionaire entrepreneur, who is spending heavily to back #Trump, had been ordered to attend the hearing but did not appear.

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is seeking to halt the giveaway less than a week before the tightly contested presidential #election between Trump & Democrat #KamalaHarris.

Krasner accuses Tesla #ElonMusk & his PAC hatching an "illegal lottery scheme to #influence voters."

The resignations ushered in new leadership, including Schierkolk, an *activist* with the local affiliate of the #RightWing group Stand Up #Michigan, which also works with a broader network of #ElectionDenial activists.

In her resignation letter, Strand wrote of a peaceful town disrupted because “some individuals believe that it is OK to treat #CommunityService members with #disrespect, #slander, #libel, #stalking & many other forms of #harassment towards people who are just trying to make a difference for the good of the community we live in.”

Schierkolk is tied to a network of *#activists* [#criminals] who have pushed several baseless #ConspiracyTheories about corruption in elections &, at times, advocated the hand-counting of ballots, apparently believing that electronic voting machines are insecure. #Trump & his allies spread the idea widely after his defeat in 2020, claiming, falsely, that the machines had changed the votes to #Biden.

The #US govt has regularly dispatched hundreds of monitors to voting locations…, aiming to protect ballot access, discourage improper #partisan #influence & act as a moderating force on political campaigns.

While the #DOJ has the #legal right to request access to polling sites, inflamed partisanship & ideological #extremism has contributed to greater resistance to such activities in some #GOP-controlled states….

US Dist Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles rejected arguments from attys for Gov #Youngkin (R), who had signed an executive order Aug 7 to expedite the removal of #RegisteredVoters who checked a box on their driver’s license applications indicating they were not US citizens. FULLY QUALIFIED VOTERS who simply skipped or overlooked the question have been caught up in the purge, as have those who became #citizens years after their first interaction w/ the DMV.
