Article: RNC Suit Seeks Information About $2 Million ‘Zuckerbucks’ Grant in Georgia

The Republican National Committee is filing suit to see if one of Georgia’s most populous counties illegally received private funding for its public election activities.

On May 16, the RNC filed a one-count complaint against the DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections Office, along with various county officials and related offices, in the Superior Court of DeKalb County, Georgia. The complaint alleges the county failed to comply with Georgia’s Open Records Act by not providing all public records related to its dealings with the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence.

In February 2023, the county announced it received $2 million from the Alliance. At the time, the county said in a release it would join “a select bipartisan group of election officials to share best practices and strategies in their ongoing pursuit of excellence.”

Article: Capital Research Center finds evidence of a clear bias weighted toward Democrats in 2020 election

A majority of Wisconsin voters approved a ballot measure on April 2 that made Wisconsin the 28th state to adopt a ban on private funding of elections. The next day, news headlines were filled with baseless smears. One particular article, from USA Today, used the now classic “Republicans pounce!” framing: “Trump and the GOP weaponized Mark Zuckerberg’s donations; what it means for the 2024 election.”

The article claims the Wisconsin ballot measure “[stemmed] from misinformation surrounding” Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous $400 million donation to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). To support this claim, the article references a Federal Elections Commission (FEC) report’s citation of a report commissioned by Mark Zuckerberg wherein former FEC chairman Michael Toner “found that more grants were given to jurisdictions who voted for Trump rather than Biden in 2020.”

Article: States Banning or Restricting Zuckbucks (WI Update)

Private financing of government election offices under the guise of COVID-19 relief skewed voter turnout in the 2020 election and may have tipped the presidential election to Joe Biden.

The chief culprit was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who poured $350 million into one sleepy nonprofit, the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL). CTCL then distributed grants to hundreds of county and city elections officials in 47 states and the District of Columbia.

Despite its claims that the grants were strictly for COVID-19 relief, not partisan advantage, the data show otherwise. CRC research into grants distributed in key states—Arizona and Nevada, Texas, Michigan and Wisconsin, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia—has documented their partisan effects. We have also catalogued our major findings at InfluenceWatch.

Wisconsin – Restoration of America – Article: Milwaukee Takes Arabella “DARK MONEY” to Count Your Ballots in Zuckbucks Scandal Repeat

Article: The Left is trying once more to privatize the 2024 election in Milwaukee, and they’re using the world’s biggest political machine to do it. It’s up to voters to save their state from D.C. mega-donors.

Wisconsinites couldn’t have a starker choice on April 2: Vote “yes” on Question 1 to ban tainted “Zuckbucks” forever—or let the Left continue selling election administration to the highest bidder.

If you needed any more evidence of the latter, consider the newly announced $800,000 grant from an opaque left-wing nonprofit to Milwaukee’s elections department to “process absentee ballots” and “connect with voters via text messages” mere weeks before voters ban such private funding.

In a bare repeat of 2020’s Zuckbucks scheme, another shadowy group—Cities Forward—is attempting to privatize the government office responsible for counting voters’ ballots in a city that broke for Joe Biden by 183,000 votes.
