Zuckerberg-Funded Group Comes Into Spotlight in Election-Related Court Cases
The Epoch Times ^ | November 28, 2020 | Zachary Stieber

A group that received hundreds of millions of dollars from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is accused in post-election lawsuits of contributing to constitutional violations in key battleground states.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life, a national nonprofit based in Illinois, provided funding to over 2,500 election offices across the country to run elections amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds were used to pay poll workers, put up ballot drop boxes, and acquire mail-in ballot equipment and supplies.

More than $6 million was doled out to officials in Fulton County, Georgia, and to five cities in Wisconsin, according to lawsuits filed this month. The funds were sent to facilitate violations of state law, the lawsuits allege.

The money was sent through agreements that had municipalities run elections in contravention to state law, according to the lawsuits, which were filed by the Thomas More Foundation’s Amistad Project. Accepting funding from a private group like the center is barred by state and federal law, the lawsuits allege.

Thanks very much but I DID search! I searched on the EXACT title. Why would someone change the title if it fits within the search parameters?

I searched on the EXACT title.

You don't have to search using the exact title.

You missed the point. If the poster searched using the exact title he/she certainly should have found a post with the title that duplicated his/hers.

I’ve tried searching in various ways. I didn’t on this particular article. If the title isn’t longer than character limitation, then there should be no reason to change it. That means searching on the exact title is appropriate. In fact, I was under the impression that FR doesn’t want people randomly changing the title.
