Elections are the foundation of our democracy, and they should be administrated without overt or implicit bias in favor of one party. The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence is a direct challenge to that principle.
In 2020, a left-wing nonprofit group called the Center for Tech and Civic Life doled out $350 million in private grants to thousands of election offices around the country. Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, pledged the funds , and the progressive Democrats and partisan activists at CTCL funneled the money disproportionately to jurisdictions that voted Democratic.'ZUCK BUCKS 2.
Now, the Left aims to go further. They chose 10 counties and municipalities in seven states to test their new scheme. The alliance calls those guinea pigs “Centers for Election Excellence.” Our organizations, the Honest Elections Project and the John Locke Foundation, used public records requests to obtain communications between these offices and the alliance. What we found was alarming.
The records we uncovered also expose the network as a two-way street. As one election official put it in her notes, “I get something and give something.” Offices are expected, at taxpayer expense, to help the alliance refine its programming and to hand over significant amounts of data on their inner workings. Members are expected to work with the alliance to develop and implement “improvement plans” that reshape the way they function, giving CTCL enormous influence over election administration.
The nation did not discover the full extent of CTCL’s Zuck Bucks operation until long after the 2020 election. The response was overwhelming: Nearly half of the states have banned private funding for administering elections. So, what can states do about this new threat now?
