Elon Musk’s prominent role in the most expensive judicial race in American history has helped turn Tuesday’s election into a battle over national politics.

Officials expect more than two million people to vote in the election, which will decide the partisan balance on the state’s Supreme Court. Many voters cite Elon Musk as a factor in the race.
