REPORT: How Charities Secretly Help Win Elections
capitalresearch.org ^ | AUGUST 15, 2023 | by Parker Thayer

Posted on 08/17/2023 11:36:05 AM PDT by Red Badger

This investigation reveals the shocking true story of the Everybody Votes campaign—the largest and most corrupt “charitable” voter registration effort in American history—that may have decided the 2020 presidential election and could decide 2024. Commissioned by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, funded by the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, and coordinated with cutthroat Democratic consultants, the Everybody Votes campaign used the guise of civic-minded charity to selectively register millions of “non-white” swing-state voters in the hopes of getting out the Democratic vote for a 2020 presidential win. It worked.

The Voter Registration Project

Our exclusive research reveals how a little-known organization called the Voter Registration Project (VRP) leveraged connections with billionaire private foundations, Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother, and foreign billionaires with a history of breaking U.S. election law to raise $190 million for the Everybody Votes campaign and register 5.1 million people.

Using data from leaked copies of the campaign’s secret plans, as well as 2020 exit polls, our researchers have discovered that the VRP’s 5.1 million new registrations provided Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with somewhere between 1 million to 2.7 million votes across eight specially chosen swing states during the 2020 election. If the state-by-state projections of the campaign’s Democratic consultants held true into 2020, the Everybody Votes campaign’s “massive registration surge” would have provided Democrats more votes than the total margins of victory in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Biden ultimately won each of these states in 2020, netting him 53 electoral college votes.

Misusing Tax-Exempt Money

Our investigation proves, once and for all, that Democrats used truckloads of money from private foundations and public charities to give their donors enormous tax breaks and pad their electoral margins in 2020, even though charities and foundations are strictly forbidden by law to operate with the effect, much less the intent, of benefiting a political party.

The investigation also proves that the campaign’s supposed concerns for the “civic participation” of “underrepresented communities” were nothing more than a convenient lie. Unearthed drafts of the Everybody Votes campaign’s original partisan schematics prove that the campaign was designed to win elections first and worry about “civic participation” later. Changing the electorate’s racial composition was only ever a secondary concern.

If the Everybody Votes campaign was a political action committee (PAC) or a 501(c)(4) “dark money” group and if the organizers had just admitted they cared more about electoral results than inequality, then there would be no scandal. But it wasn’t, and they didn’t, and the result is an enormous scandal entangling some of the Left’s biggest political donors and many of its most powerful nonprofit activist groups.

What’s Next

It’s not just a scandal of the past either. The operation was so successful in 2020 that the Everybody Votes campaign has announced it will continue on through 2024, registering millions more. New job listings suggest that this cycle’s operations will target Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin—each a must-win presidential swing state. Only time will tell if the campaign is a repeat success.

It looks like their malfeasence was that they registered themselves as non profits. which is illegal but otherwise they are just democrat vote getters.

I would ban non-profits from making any campaign contributions, period. They have a gift from the law and government granting them non-profit status and should not be trying to directly influence politics with their money.

Yeah, and they trucked in 800,000+ votes into Pennsylvania from Bethpage, New York to flip that state after the fraud in Philadelphia was determined to be somehow ... short.

They are not charities. They are money laundering scams.

The problem isn't contributions, it's the thousands of people they put onto the ground to do questionable if not plainly illegal things. Chances are these not profits don't contribute a dime.(and even if they contributed a lot, the money is the least concern)

These non-profit organizations are ground zero for ballot trafficking, and other such chicanery.

To say that Joe Smith showed up to the ballot box and stuffed 53 ballots into the box on video, well, ok, yeah, Joe should go to jail for it but why can't we investigate the Everybody Votes Campaign the same way ACORN got investigated.

ACORN was in many ways the same thing.

So Joe Smith goes to jail for stuffing the ballot box and the Everybody Votes Campaign who orchestrated the whole thing goes free. That's the problem. Nobody has the spine to take on the juggernaut of non-profits but the non-profits have thousands of Joe Smiths who can take the hit individually.

Yet they are getting away with it by making what are in affect “in-kind” contributions by their poltiical efforts and the spending on those efforts.
