2020 ELECTION
Money From Facebook’s Zuckerberg Used to Undermine Election, Violate Law: Report

BY ZACHARY STIEBER December 16, 2020 Updated

Hundreds of millions of dollars from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg were used to violate election laws, according to a new report.

The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization, released the 39-page report, alleging that Zuckerberg’s $500 million given to election officials was used to treat voters unequally and to improperly influence the election for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The bulk of the funds went to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a nonprofit started by former managers and staff at the New Organizing Institute, a progressive nonprofit.

According to the report, the nonprofit earlier this year “began sending agents into states to recruit certain Democrat strongholds to prepare grants requesting monies from” it.

For example, the center gave $100,000 to Cory Mason, the mayor of Racine, Wisconsin, to recruit four other cities to develop a plan and request a larger grant from it. Those five cities submitted such a plan in June and received $6.3 million to implement it.

That kind of privatization of elections “undermines the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved and requires respect for equal protection by making all resources available equally to all voters,” the report states.

“The provision of Zuckerberg-CTCL funds allowed these Democrat strongholds to spend roughly $47 per voter, compared to $4 to $7 per voter in traditionally Republican areas of the state. Moreover, this recruiting of targeted jurisdictions for specific government action and funding runs contrary to legislative election plans and invites government to play favorites in the election process.”

Mason’s spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for comment, nor did a Facebook spokesperson, nor CTCL’s media office.

“This effectively is a shadow government running our elections,” Phill Kline, director of the Amistad Project, said at a press conference in Virginia.

“Government has the core responsibility of managing elections. We don’t put out elections for bid. We don’t have elections brought to you by Coca Cola. It is government’s job to manage elections, and it must do so without a thumb on the scale.”

The project said the main foundations funding the efforts include The Democracy Fund, New Venture Fund, Skoll Foundation, and Knight Foundation.

Other nonprofits deemed key to distributing the money besides CTCL were named as the Center for Electronic Innovation Research, the Center for Civic Design, the National Vote at Home Institute, the Center for Secure and Modern Elections, and Rock the Vote.

None immediately responded to requests for comment.

Money from trump and gop superpacs used in an attempt to subvert the Constitution and the will of the American people.

You realize this is all conspiracy theories but that’s the problem these morons that support Trump will continue with there culture of conspiracy. This is what’s destroying this country when Trump supporters ignore actual facts. Facebook actually shutdown all political adds prior to the election. They had to because every time that fat POS in the white opened his mouth he lied.

That’s why this nation is divided one side deals in facts the Trump side deals in propaganda conspiracy theories, and flat out lies.

Is this supposed to be some kind of rebuttal?

If so, how much money did Trump and GOP superpacs invest and in what way exactly did they subvert the Constitution?

No, the reason this country is divided is that the left wants to play by their own set of rules and ignore the Constitution so that they can have absolute power and control over everyone and everything.

You call everything you don't like a conspiracy theory. It's not a theory. It's been proven that the Left will stop at nothing and do whatever it takes to get their way. Reeducation doesn't help because the left already controls the education system and majority of universities, indoctrinating each generation into their leftist fold. If and when you actually ever learn to use your brain and think for yourself you will realize how you have been duped and are being used contrary to everything in the Declaration of Independence; LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! They are your rights as endowed by your creator in accordance with nature and nature's laws. Go ahead and surrender them to the left for a little security at the price of liberty. You don't deserve to have either if you are so willing to give your liberty away.

When I talk to my dog, I'll have an intelligent response.

Talking to most Democrat Progressive Socialist on OPP, you may as well talk to the wall or into the wind.
Why do you think, you can reason with the irrational? Don't pull on Superman's cape and don't spit into the wind!

I've more involved in watching #7 Florida Gators try to beat #1 Alabama Crimson Tide. 1:13 left in the game and Alabama is 3rd&9. Score is 52 - 46

Game over: Bama won 52 -46
