Zuckerbucks Shouldn t Pay for Elections – WSJ

The 2020 pandemic election wasn t stolen, but it sure was a superspreader of bad precedents. More than a year later, we re still getting information about the huge private money that underwrote official government voting efforts in 49 states. Much is still unknown, but lawmakers already know enough to ban this practice.

A nonprofit called the Center for Technology and Civic Life, or CTCL, funded by Mark Zuckerberg, says it gave $350 million to nearly 2,500 election departments in the course of the 2020 campaign. Last month it posted its 990 tax form for the period, with 199 pages listing grants to support the safe administration of voting amid Covid-19. Some conservatives see this largess of Zuckerbucks as a clever plot to help Democrats win.
