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“This program will help eligible rural and nonmetro election offices modernize outdated voting technology, improve access to voting for rural voters, seniors, and veterans, and make much-needed infrastructure updates to enhance election security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.
But the group did announce how much money it would give to each area, based on the number of voters. According to the press release, jurisdictions with fewer than 5,000 citizens of voting age are eligible for $5,000; those with 5,001 to 25,000 are eligible for $20,000; those with 25,001 to 100,000 are eligible for $50,000; those with 100,001 to 250,000 are eligible for $100,000.
According to CTCL’s website, the “nonpartisan” grants will be available in U.S. territories and 19 states. The grants target 2024 battleground states Michigan, Nevada, and New Hampshire. Other eligible states are Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming.
The new grants can be used for “key human, physical, and technological assets” the Department of Homeland Security considers “necessary to conduct elections,” according to CTCL’s website.

Why isn’t it?
No, they’re not. The more modern the election “technology”, the more corrupt it is. They’re just fouling the election process further.
Don’t fall for that.
Close down every polling location in the country, get rid of every voting machine and fire every election official. With technology today, the way to vote is by cell phone. Here is how it works:
Your SS# is your ID. Two factor authentication is used to validate your SS# and once validated, you receive a text to create a new password, which is then validated against the SS database and you are approved to vote. Your address is validated and then you receive another text which shows the candidates and ballot initiatives in your district.
For the election, a copy of the SS database created as a voter database and is used to “check” a box that you voted. Once that happens, you cannot vote again. As many people can vote from a single phone, but without a SS#, your vote will not be deemed valid and is tossed.
The benefits are numerous. No interference by outside influence. No technical shenanigans by rogue companies. No same day registration. If you have an SS#, you are a citizen of this country so your right to vote isn’t disenfranchised. No intimidation from poll workers. You can vote from any where. And, most people already have cell phones so again, no disenfranchising voters.
The app is simple to create, and due to NIST regulations regarding databases, the database is secured, can be easily audited and after the election, the election database is removed with no harm to the SS database.
Could be a head feint. Still could end up fueling the Democrat Cheat Machine.
I thought a KEY talking point for the Socialist Democrats was to ‘GET THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS!’
I guess only when it’s HELPING the other side. *SPIT*
P.S. I don’t WANT any help from Zuck. Those dollars have already shoved Heels Up Harris down our throats!
In Maryland? Suuuuuuuure.
Eliminating “outdated voting technology” like paper ballots, so they can use modern options like Dominion machines.
Cell phone/spy machine voting?
No, thanks.
I have lived ‘rural’ for over 31 years.
WE DO NOT NEED ZUCKERBUCKS to RUN OUR ELECTIONS
The Left will cheer this, while at the same time crying about Elon’s PAC...
I think you meant Democrat activists, right ?
Didn’t Zuck just call Trump and apologize for his previous interference?
I’m sure the crocodile tears were flowing
The rats have an open field in Mi. They have total control including the SC. Trump would have to carry it by 8-10 points to win.
Yep, our whole election system is corrupted by billionaires.
Well, it is.
For conservatives.
Shaddup, Doomer.
