The moment you’re elected, I’m off to apply for a job at my nearest Burger King - money and burgers what a combo. How many times do you want me to vote for you? No problem!
Then the defendant, usually with deep pockets, can win by simply spending more than the plaintiff can pay upon a loss. Are you going to file suit if there's a non-trivial chance you'll have to cough up >$1,000,000 if you lose? Mega Conglomerate International is willing to spend that kind of money a few times if it will scare off enough potential suits.
