Musk announced late Thursday that he planned to hold a Sunday rally in Wisconsin, where he said he would “personally hand over” $1 million checks to two voters who had already cast their ballots “in appreciation for you taking the time to vote.” Wisconsin state law expressly prohibits giving anything of value in exchange for voting — drawing a slew of complaints, including…
