Record Turnout Shows Americans Reject the Abuses of Power

Kahapon, mariing tinanggihan ng mga botante sa Wisconsin ang kandidatong si Brad Schimel para sa Korte Suprema ng Wisconsin. Personal na nangampanya si Elon Musk para sa Schimel at gumastos ng higit sa $20 milyon sa karera. Gayunpaman, pinili ng mga botante sa Wisconsin ang kanyang kalaban na si Susan Crawford sa isang malawak na margin sa pinakamahal na lahi ng hudisyal sa kasaysayan ng US.

Statement of Common Cause President at CEO Virginia Kase Solomon

Big money is dangerously out of control in our elections, but the people of Wisconsin just showed that elections belong to the voters, not out-of-state billionaires like Elon Musk.

Wisconsin voters decided this race — not the more than $25 million Elon Musk spent trying to buy the election. Our votes are not for sale. Wisconsin voters turned out in record numbers to show they are sick and tired of Elon trying to buy influence in our government.

This election is a warning to Elon Musk and all other corrupt billionaires. Voters still hold the ultimate power no matter how much money is spent.
