Article: The Center for Tech and Civic Life, which influenced the 2020 election with “Zuckbucks,” announced another round of grants before November.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), which increased Democratic turnout in 2020 by shuttling “Zuckbucks” to public election offices, will be issuing another round of grants to rural areas ahead of November’s election.

“This program will help eligible rural and nonmetro election offices modernize outdated voting technology, improve access to voting for rural voters, seniors, and veterans, and make much-needed infrastructure updates to enhance election security and make voting smoother,” said CTCL Director Tiana Epps-Johnson in a press release obtained by The Federalist.

Rural officials can apply for grants beginning today, the release said. It is unclear how much money CTCL is planning to distribute to local election offices before the election.

The Federalist – Article: ‘Zuckbucks’ Org Promotes $6 Million Election Grant From Left-Wing Dark Money Group

Article: The Institute for Responsive Government is offering officials $6 million in election grants, promoted by CTCL.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life, which funneled millions in “Zuckbucks” to election officials in 2020, is promoting a $6 million election grant program from a left-wing dark money group with which it shares close ties.

“We wanted you to be aware that the Institute for Responsive Government (IRG) launched A More Responsive Government 2024 Grant Program, a new, nonpartisan $6 million grant program that aims to support local election offices,” said an Aug. 21 CTCL email obtained by The Federalist.

The email, apparently directed to election officials, noted the funding is “not a CTCL grant program.” CTCL funneled $328 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to public election agencies in 2020, using “Zuckbucks” to target areas with likely left-leaning voting blocs and boost Democratic turnout.

Wisconsin – The Federalist – Article: WI City at Center Of ‘Zuckbucks’ Scandal Looks To Tap Leftist Lawfare Groups Ahead of Election

Article: Green Bay has earned a dubious election integrity reputation thanks to Democrat Mayor Eric Genrich and his election law-smashing city clerk.

The leftist-led Wisconsin city at the epicenter of the 2020 “Zuckbucks” scandal is again looking to enlist the assistance of far left lawfare firms ahead of November’s election. 

A deeply divided Green Bay City Council last week voted 7-4 to retain the services of outside legal counsel to assist the city attorney in the expected litigation surrounding Green Bay’s administration of the contentious election. There’s good reason to expect litigation.

Wisconsin’s third-largest city isn’t just the home to a world-class NFL franchise and award-winning cheeses. Green Bay has earned a dubious election integrity reputation thanks to highly partisan Democrat Mayor Eric Genrich and his election law-smashing city clerk. Now, Genrich and crew — accused of spying on their political enemies among other troubling allegations — appear to be doubling down on Green Bay’s soiled elections reputation with the move to hire left-wing law firms.
