sk has set his sights on another questionable goal: electing Brad Schimel to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. “Very important to vote Republican for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to prevent voting fraud!” Musk posted last month on X, which he owns, along with everything else.

Elon Musk’s super PAC has spent $1 million on canvassing operations supporting the conservative candidate in the race, his first election spending after the 2024 campaign.

Wisconsin is a "wild west in terms of campaign spending," with the last high court race shattering spending records

Schimel, as Wisconsin’s attorney general from 2015 to 2019, defended the state’s strict voter ID law in court and claimed it was a key reason why Trump won Wisconsin in 2016. He also sent Department of Justice staff to monitor the polls in heavily Democratic areas in that election, which Democrats viewed as voter intimidation.

A conservative nonprofit backed by billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk is getting involved in a race that will determine the political direction of the highest court in one of the country’s most important presidential battleground states.

The contest between a liberal and a conservative will determine the court’s ideological tilt, which may prove consequential in disputes over ID requirements, drop boxes and noncitizen voting.
