...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?
Merrick Garland fades backward into the shrubbery
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.
He's incredibly rich.
Rich, white, male Republican. Take your pick
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.
Good for Philly.
A civil suit instead of a warrant.
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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
