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.”
