On the same day the Musk-funded ads started running in Wisconsin, the Republican majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court issued a little-noticed decision that increases the likelihood that Republicans will overturn the election of Democratic State Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs—the last uncertified race from November 2024.
Democratic money carried a liberal jurist to victory and swung the state’s high court to the left. Now, Elon Musk and other wealthy donors have given Republicans a chance to swing it back.
Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford says Elon Musk is "buying off" her opponent but dismisses talks about her $1M donation from George Soros.
The ad includes a picture of Susan P. Crawford, a Harvard University law professor, and not Susan M. Crawford, who is running for a seat on the state's highest court.
