Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is asking his city's court to beef up its security for an upcoming hearing in his recently filed lawsuit seeking to halt Elon Musk's voter sweepstakes.

Both Krasner and Musk are expected to attend the Thursday hearing, and the district attorney suggested enhanced security would be appropriate given what Krasner asserted has been a flood of social media posts attacking him in the days since he initiated the suit.
