In 2020, at the peak of COVID, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan gave over $400 million to election groups with relatively benign-sounding names like CTCL (Center for Tech and Civic Life). The front story is that the money would be used to help facilitate safe elections during COVID. The actual story is that it was a well-coordinated scheme that gave third-party groups the ability to manipulate and ultimately affect the outcome of the 2020 election by using third-party money to buy drop boxes and fund satellite voting centers, specifically in Democrat stronghold areas of Detroit. Instead of being used on PPE, the Zuckerberg funds were instead used to “get out the vote” in critical Dem stronghold districts in swing states across America.
$350 million of the more than $400 million was siphoned through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). CTCL distributed hundreds of millions in “Zuckerbucks” to thousands of election jurisdictions in 48 states and Washington, D.C.. These funds were pitched as “COVID-19 response grants” supposedly intended to assist election officials in the safe conduct of elections. However, the infusion of CTCL funds into Democrat-leaning jurisdictions influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Much of the Zuckerbucks were not spent on COVID-19 related expenses—with states reporting expenditures on advertising, vehicle purchases, registering teenagers to vote, and other non- COVID-related items. The grant money included clawbacks, meaning if the funds were not used in the way CTCL dictated, which included on-the-ground CTCL organizers and supervisors, CTCL could demand its money back. This amounted to illegal outside private third party influence and interference in elections.
The pivotal state of Georgia was one of the biggest targets of these funds, ultimately receiving one of the largest allocations of CTCL funds in the nation.1
Emails and documents obtained by the Wisconsin Spotlight allege that individuals affiliated with CTCL took control of election procedures,2 including giving left-wing advisers “access to boxes of absentee ballots before the election.”3
Zuckerberg money to CTCL was laundered through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) controlled by Zuckerberg and his wife. Chan Zuckerberg also gave $433,000 to Ralph Baric,4 who was described by Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as her “longtime collaborator” on gain-of-function research on the engineered coronavirus.5 Baric also received funding from Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Health (NIH).
Thomas More Law Society lawyer Thor Hearne asserts that the Zuckerberg money inflow was claimed to relate to COVID and the need to purchase personal protective equipment, but reports show only a tiny percentage of the money was used to pay for COVID-related personal protective equipment.
“COVID dangers were used as a cover for providing Center for Tech and Civic Life monies to municipalities to boost Democrat candidates in the 2020 election through increased mail-in voting and ballot harvesting in predominantly urban jurisdictions and to the detriment of Michigan voters who live in suburban and rural jurisdictions of the state,” said Thor Hearne, Thomas More Society Special Counsel.
“Because the funds were channeled through Center for Tech and Civic Life, a ‘charity,’ and characterized as ‘grants,’ Zuckerberg’s ‘donations’ were not covered by campaign finance laws. Instead, they were unlimited and unregulated ‘dark money,’” said Hearne.
Hearne explained, “The Michigan Constitution guarantees every eligible citizen the right of equal protection when it comes to voting, and that means state officials may not put in place an election scheme that enhances the weight of votes cast by one class of voters or increases one favored class of voters’ access to the ballot. That’s just what happened here. Analysis of data that the Center for Tech and Civic Life provided to the Internal Revenue Service and other public records demonstrates that this scheme was designed to favor urban areas in Michigan and to disadvantage Michigan voters in rural and suburban more politically conservative areas.”
President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation J. Christian Adams spoke about Michigan’s dishonest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and how she became one of the “architects” of the Zuckerberg scheme in 2020.
“She’s actually one of the architects of Zuckerbucks,” Adams explained. “She was one of the ones who sat down with Vanita Gupta, of the uh, of one of the far-left civil rights groups and now associate attorney general number 3 at the DOJ.
“Vanita Gupta and Jocelyn Benson and others were the ones who cooked this whole thing up with Zuckerberg and his wife, he said, adding: “So, she was there in the beginning. I mean, look, they come up with devious diabolical ways to put their thumb on the scales, and she’s uh, she’s one of the architects.”
