The 2020 election broke all historical norms on voting, the ballot box, and counting votes

Mark Zuckerberg funding $419 Million in "key swing states" regarding their "key" voting precincts and ballot counting through targeted grant monies, is just one mention on the 2020 election question?

New York Post

Zuckerberg’s election spending was ‘carefully orchestrated’ to influence 2020 vote: ex-FEC member​

October 14, 2021


A former federal election official on Thursday called the $400 million-plus that Mark Zuckerberg spent to help finance local elections a “carefully orchestrated attempt” to influence the 2020 vote — and recommended that all states ban private funding of election offices.

“My reaction is that this was a carefully orchestrated attempt to convert official government election offices into get-out-the-vote operations for one political party and to insert political operatives into election offices in order to influence and manipulate the outcome of the election,”

New York Post

Mark Zuckerberg spent $419M on nonprofits ahead of 2020 election — and got out the Dem vote​

October 13, 2021

During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters. But this wasn’t traditional political spending. He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally nonpartisan — but demonstrably ideological — nonprofit organizations.

Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden’s vote margin in key swing states. In places like Georgia, where Biden won by 12,000 votes, and Arizona, where he won by 10,000, the spending likely put him over the top.

This unprecedented merger of public election offices with private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic and should be the focus of electoral reform efforts moving forward.

The 2020 election wasn’t stolen — it was likely bought by one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes.

The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) passed a staggering $419.5 million of Zuckerberg’s money into local government elections offices, and it came with strings attached. Every CTCL and CEIR grant spelled out in great detail the conditions under which the grant money was to be used.

Buying elections is not exactly a new thing. It's just more sophisticated now.

"That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information."

The Constitutionally incorrect Citizens United decision lets corporations spend whatever they want wherever they want.

When it was the Koch Brothers and Mercers you were saying ''bring it on" and now you say "no fair?"

You cheered the appointment of judicial oligarchs and you are suffering the consequences.

I disagree with your attached "Time" article below, Mark Zuckerberg and the Unions joined hands and stole the 2020 election for the democratic party, they didn't protect it as the article claims, Smiles!

Mark Zuckerberg and the AFL-CIO union came together and joined hands to ensure it would be a free, fair, and uncorrupted election, "Real Big Smiles" Laughable!!!

The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted.

The question remains, what laws were broken if the claims in this article are all true? It seems ironic that Democrats have largely been fighting to prevent billionaires from spending their money to "buy" elections and now, when Democrats decide to play the game Republicans have wanted, that Republicans complain (but still don't want to change any laws to keep them from doing it in the future). As pointed out, there were no complaints when it was the Koch Brothers using their money to do similar things, only when a more liberal billionaire decided to do similar things.

Fact is, the vast majority of States have closed the Zuckerberg plan in loopholes that stole the 2020 election, and many more laws to boot

The 2024 election will be a different story, and the liberal establishment is shaking in their boots, doing everything in their power to stop the soon to be republican nominee in Donald J. Trump

Yes, I already know red state governments are trying to make urban voters, young voters, and voters of color to jump through hoops to exercise that right.

A party is morally bankrupt if it can only win by gerrymandering and placing obstacles to voting in traditionally liberal voting groups.

They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.

This time the Koch Brothers were not Trump supporters. My guess would be that they were a part of funding this coalition of Americans supporting a free and fair, credible and uncorrupted election.

Mark Zuckerberg funded $419 Million in a targeted, private takeover of government election operations, unprecedented in American history, and you believe that's ok?

Oh sure, the AFL-CIO running the ballot counting operations was providing for free and fair elections

That's sorta like trying to sell ice to Eskimos in the middle of winter, and nobody's buying it, "Smiles"

A bigger question is why isn't voting simple, easy, and accessible everywhere in the country?

If it was, rich jerks wouldn't be coming in to try and fix the problem.
You mean the rich guy Zuckerberg that spent $419 Million in taking over ballot counting precincts, and appointed the ballot counting process to the unions and AFL-CIO, "Smiles"

When don't elites trying to control the narrative, build back better for themselves? They have been very open about their movement that seeks gain at the expense of the masses and discredits all who do not follow. The powerful (more money the better) have always expected the masses to follow their leads, and lately they seem to have a willing but foolish audience that is quite happy to condemn those who refuse to be sheep like them..

What do you say about Republicans who worked together with Dems. to ensure fair elections?

Wamp, the former GOP Congressman, worked through the nonpartisan reform group Issue One to rally Republicans to the effort. “We thought we should bring some bipartisan element of unity around what constitutes a free and fair election,” Wamp says. The 22 Democrats and 22 Republicans on the National Council on Election Integrity met on Zoom at least once a week. They ran ads in six states, made statements, wrote articles and alerted local officials to potential problems. “We had rabid Trump supporters who agreed to serve on the council based on the idea that this is honest,” Wamp says. This is going to be just as important, he told them, to convince the liberals when Trump wins. “Whichever way it cuts, we’re going to stick together.”

Nowhere that I read is that claimed in the article.
