The injection of private money into public election administration — or "Zuckerbucks" — is continuing in a new form, as left-leaning candidates are being recruited to run for local elections offices by an organization that receives funds from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, a project of the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), is awarding funds to counties and municipalities under the Centers for Election Excellence program. The alliance will provide $80 million over five years "to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S. election administration," according to CTCL.
CTCL poured nearly $350 million into local elections offices managing the 2020 election, with most of the funds donated to the nonprofit by Zuckerberg. The nonprofit has claimed its 2020 election grants — colloquially known as "Zuckerbucks" — were allocated without partisan preference to make voting safer amid the pandemic.
Critics of the unprecedented level of private funding injected into election administration offices in 2020 argue the grants were awarded disproportionately to boost voter participation in swing state Democratic strongholds. A House Republican investigation found that less than 1% of the funds were spent on personal protective equipment.
Following controversy surrounding the disproportionate resources funneled to Democratic jurisdictions and claims the imbalance helped sway the election in Biden's favor, 24 states have either restricted or banned the use of private money to fund elections, while 12 counties have also restricted or banned the funds, according to the Capital Research Center.

Fakebook is a CIA operation, and they recruited him to be the face (pun intended) of it.
They created Fakebook to launder money for illegal political activity, and they tell Zuckerman what to do with it.
Why do these tech billionaires want to destroy America so badly?
They all have something in common.
I have always said that the governmtnt has zero business limiting participation in the political discourse. But nowadays a handful of multi- billionaires (enemies of America like soroznaxi, useful leftist idiots like Zuckerberg, etc) are using money to censor, control, and limiting our political discourse
They must be stopped !
Quasi governmental corporations buying elections.
What could possibly go wrong.
Like cancer.
That may be true,but the likes of ZUCKERBERG are the descendants of Bolshevik scum from the Pale of the Settlement!
