Elon Musk is pouring money into a Supreme Court election in Wisconsin.

Musk has spent more than $18 million to support Trump-backed candidate Brad Schimel over liberal Susan Crawford

and has been paying Wisconsin voters $100 to help flip the state’s top court.

This election could impact abortion rights, unions and Republicans’ ability to keep gerrymandered districts in place to control Congress.

“The level of corruption at play here, the level of money at play here, really is a warning sign for what’s happening to our democracy,”
says Ari Berman, voting rights correspondent for Mother Jonesmagazine.
