2024 election updates: Millions have voted early as Trump, Harris sprint to finish

At an ongoing hearing in Philadelphia over Elon Musk and his super PAC's $1 million voter sweepstakes, a defense attorney said the giveaway is a way to recruit spokespeople for America PAC, while the Philadelphia district attorney testified it is a "scam."

According to defense attorney Chris Gober, the recipients of the million-dollar checks sign contracts after being selected from a pool of people who signed the petition to serve as a spokesperson for the PAC. Tomorrow’s winner has already been decided to be a registered voter from Michigan.

"They were not chosen by chance," Gober said during the hearing in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas.

Minutes later, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's team played a video in court where Musk vowed the money would be awarded "randomly."

"So I have a surprise for you, which is that we are going to be awarding a million dollars randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election,” Musk told a crowd in Pennsylvania on Oct. 19.

Testifying from the witness stand, Krasner slammed the giveaway as a "scam" and "grift" intended to "flood money into American elections."

"That ain't a contract and that's not employment," an animated Krasner, the first witness in the hearing, said. "There are certain words that stick out -- awarding. Doesn't sound like a spokesperson contract."

"It is unquestionably supposed to be random selection despite what I think is a very disingenuous version of it that I think I heard today," Krasner said.

Krasner testified that the America PAC has effectively scammed Philadelphia residents out of their personal information -- which they entered to sign the petition to enter into the giveaway -- while the giveaway never actually offered them a random chance of winning the million-dollar prize.

"They were scammed for their information," said Krasner, who is asking a judge to immediately stop the giveaway.

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney responded to former President Donald Trump's attacks on her in an interview with ABC's "The View" on Monday, including a remark he made suggesting she should "have guns trained on her face."

"He knows what he's doing," Cheney said. "He knows it's a threat with the intent to intimidate. Obviously, the intimidation won't work."

Cheney emphasized Trump's history of violent rhetoric, including how he responded to the violence on Jan. 6.

"For over three hours, he watched police officers be brutally beaten. He was told the vice president had been evacuated, he said, 'So what?'" Cheney said. "People were rushing in, pleading with him, 'Tell the mob to leave,' and he wouldn't."

"That level of depravity, he knows he has no defense to that, and he knows that the American people will not entrust again with power anyone who would do something that cruel," she continued. "And so because he can't respond to that, he tries to change the subject, he tries to threaten. It's what autocrats do to try to get their political adversaries to be silent."

JD Vance addressed voters in Wisconsin during a rally in La Crosse on Monday.

"Tomorrow is our last chance," Trump's running mate said. "Tomorrow is the big day when we are going to vote in very big numbers in the state of Wisconsin. We're going to vote for change. We're going to vote for American prosperity."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is also campaigning in Wisconsin on Monday. Vance called it "tough work" to "convince the American people" that Harris can be president.

"I think that's the toughest job in the United States of America," Vance said, saying Harris is "more of the same" high grocery prices, unaffordable housing and "wide open border."

The Alabama Republican Party announced on Monday it has launched its most comprehensive poll watcher deployment, with more than 400 poll watchers and election lawyers in Georgia and Alabama.

Over 200 Alabama poll watchers and dozens of election lawyers will be stationed in targeted districts across Alabama, which the party says is part of an effort to ensure a “secure and transparent election process.” The Alabama GOP added that the placement of election lawyers across the state "provides an extra layer of security and real-time responsiveness."

The Alabama GOP is also deploying more than 200 poll watchers to Georgia, supporting the critical southern battleground state on behalf of former President Donald Trump's campaign.
