\u201cZuckerbucks\u201d and the 2020 Election<\/strong>
\nBy Mollie Hemingway
\nAdapted from Chapter 7 of Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections.<\/p>\n

In the 2020 presidential election, for the first time ever, partisan groups were allowed\u2014on a widespread basis\u2014to cross the bright red line separating government officials who administer elections from political operatives who work to win them. It is important to understand how this happened in order to prevent it in the future.<\/p>\n

Months after the election, Time magazine published a triumphant story of how the election was won by \u201ca 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.\u201d Written by Molly Ball, a journalist with close ties to Democratic leaders, it told a cheerful story of a \u201cconspiracy unfolding behind the scenes,\u201d the \u201cresult of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.\u201d <\/p>\n

A major part of this \u201cconspiracy\u201d to \u201csave the 2020 election\u201d was to use COVID as a pretext to maximize absentee and early voting. This effort was enormously successful. Nearly half of voters ended up voting by mail, and another quarter voted early. It was, Ball wrote, \u201cpractically a revolution in how people vote.\u201d Another major part was to raise an army of progressive activists to administer the election at the ground level. Here, one billionaire in particular took a leading role: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. <\/p>\n

Zuckerberg\u2019s help to Democrats is well known when it comes to censoring their political opponents in the name of preventing \u201cmisinformation.\u201d Less well known is the fact that he directly funded liberal groups running partisan get-out-the-vote operations. In fact, he helped those groups infiltrate election offices in key swing states by doling out large grants to crucial districts.<\/p>\n

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, an organization led by Zuckerberg\u2019s wife Priscilla, gave more than $400 million to nonprofit groups involved in \u201csecuring\u201d the 2020 election. Most of those funds\u2014colloquially called \u201cZuckerbucks\u201d\u2014were funneled through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a voter outreach organization founded by Tiana Epps-Johnson, Whitney May, and Donny Bridges. All three had previously worked on activism relating to election rules for the New Organizing Institute, once described by The Washington Post as \u201cthe Democratic Party\u2019s Hogwarts for digital wizardry.\u201d <\/p>\n

Flush with $350 million in Zuckerbucks, the CTCL proceeded to disburse large grants to election officials and local governments across the country. These disbursements were billed publicly as \u201cCOVID-19 response grants,\u201d ostensibly to help municipalities acquire protective gear for poll workers or otherwise help protect election officials and volunteers against the virus. In practice, relatively little money was spent for this. Here, as in other cases, COVID simply provided cover. <\/p>\n

According to the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), Georgia received more than $31 million in Zuckerbucks, one of the highest amounts in the country. The three Georgia counties that received the most money spent only 1.3 percent of it on personal protective equipment. The rest was spent on salaries, laptops, vehicle rentals, attorney fees for public records requests, mail-in balloting, and other measures that allowed elections offices to hire activists to work the election. Not all Georgia counties received CTCL funding. And of those that did, Trump-voting counties received an average of $1.91 per registered voter, compared to $7.13 per registered voter in Biden-voting counties.<\/p>\n

The FGA looked at this funding another way, too. Trump won Georgia by more than five points in 2016. He lost it by three-tenths of a point in 2020. On average, as a share of the two-party vote, most counties moved Democratic by less than one percentage point in that time. Counties that didn\u2019t receive Zuckerbucks showed hardly any movement, but counties that did moved an average of 2.3 percentage points Democratic. In counties that did not receive Zuckerbucks, \u201croughly half saw an increase in Democrat votes that offset the increase in Republican votes, while roughly half saw the opposite trend.\u201d In counties that did receive Zuckerbucks, by contrast, three quarters \u201csaw a significant uptick in Democrat votes that offset any upward change in Republican votes,\u201d including highly populated Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb counties.<\/p>\n

Of all the 2020 battleground states, it is probably in Wisconsin where the most has been brought to light about how Zuckerbucks worked. <\/p>\n

CTCL distributed $6.3 million to the Wisconsin cities of Racine, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, and Kenosha\u2014purportedly to ensure that voting could take place \u201cin accordance with prevailing [anti-COVID] public health requirements.\u201d <\/p>\n

Wisconsin law says voting is a right, but that \u201cvoting by absentee ballot must be carefully regulated to prevent the potential for fraud or abuse; to prevent overzealous solicitation of absent electors who may prefer not to participate in an election.\u201d Wisconsin law also says that elections are to be run by clerks or other government officials. But the five cities that received Zuckerbucks outsourced much of their election operation to private liberal groups, in one case so extensively that a sidelined government official quit in frustration. <\/p>\n

This was by design. Cities that received grants were not allowed to use the money to fund outside help unless CTCL specifically approved their plans in writing. CTCL kept tight control of how money was spent, and it had an abundance of \u201cpartners\u201d to help with anything the cities needed. <\/p>\n

Some government officials were willing to do whatever CTCL recommended. \u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned I am taking all of my cues from CTCL and work with those you recommend,\u201d Celestine Jeffreys, the chief of staff to Democratic Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich, wrote in an email. CTCL not only had plenty of recommendations, but made available a \u201cnetwork of current and former election administrators and election experts\u201d to scale up \u201cyour vote by mail processes\u201d and \u201censure forms, envelopes, and other materials are understood and completed correctly by voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Power the Polls, a liberal group recruiting poll workers, promised to help with ballot curing. The liberal Mikva Challenge worked to recruit high school-age poll workers. And the left-wing Brennan Center offered help with \u201celection integrity,\u201d including \u201cpost-election audits\u201d and \u201ccybersecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Center for Civic Design, an election administration policy organization that frequently partners with groups such as liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar\u2019s Democracy Fund, designed absentee ballots and voting instructions, often working directly with an election commission to design envelopes and create advertising and targeting campaigns. The Elections Group, also linked to the Democracy Fund, provided technical assistance in handling drop boxes and conducted voter outreach. The communications director for the Center for Secure and Modern Elections, an organization that advocates sweeping changes to the elections process, ran a conference call to help Green Bay develop Spanish-language radio ads and geofencing to target voters in a predefined area. <\/p>\n

Digital Response, a nonprofit launched in 2020, offered to \u201cbring voters an updated elections website,\u201d \u201crun a website health check,\u201d \u201cset up communications channels,\u201d \u201cbring poll worker application and management online,\u201d \u201ctrack and respond to polling location wait times,\u201d \u201cset up voter support and email response tools,\u201d \u201cbring vote-by-mail applications online,\u201d \u201cprocess incoming [vote-by-mail] applications,\u201d and help with \u201cballot curing process tooling and voter notification.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Vote at Home Institute was presented as a \u201ctechnical assistance partner\u201d that could \u201csupport outreach around absentee voting,\u201d provide and oversee voting machines, consult on methods to cure absentee ballots, and even assume the duty of curing ballots. <\/p>\n

A few weeks after the five Wisconsin cities received their grants, CTCL emailed Claire Woodall-Vogg, the executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, to offer \u201can experienced elections staffer that could potentially embed with your staff in Milwaukee in a matter of days.\u201d The staffer leading Wisconsin\u2019s portion of the National Vote at Home Institute was an out-of-state Democratic activist named Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein. As soon as he met with Woodall-Vogg, he asked for contacts in other cities and at the Wisconsin Elections Commission. <\/p>\n

Spitzer-Rubenstein would eventually take over much of Green Bay\u2019s election planning from the official charged with running the election, Green Bay Clerk Kris Teske. This made Teske so unhappy that she took Family and Medical Leave prior to the election and quit shortly thereafter. <\/p>\n

Emails from Spitzer-Rubenstein show the extent to which he was managing the election process. To one government official he wrote, \u201cBy Monday, I\u2019ll have our edits on the absentee voting instructions. We\u2019re pushing Quickbase to get their system up and running and I\u2019ll keep you updated. I\u2019ll revise the planning tool to accurately reflect the process. I\u2019ll create a flowchart for the vote-by-mail processing that we will be able to share with both inspectors and also observers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once early voting started, Woodall-Vogg would provide Spitzer-Rubenstein with daily updates on the numbers of absentee ballots returned and still outstanding in each ward\u00ad\u00ad\u2014prized information for a political operative. <\/p>\n

Amazingly, Spitzer-Rubenstein even asked for direct access to the Milwaukee Election Commission\u2019s voter database: \u201cWould you or someone else on your team be able to do a screen-share so we can see the process for an export?\u201d he wrote. \u201cDo you know if WisVote has an [application programming interface] or anything similar so that it can connect with other software apps? That would be the holy grail.\u201d Even for Woodall-Vogg, that was too much. \u201cWhile I completely understand and appreciate the assistance that is trying to be provided,\u201d she replied, \u201cI am definitely not comfortable having a non-staff member involved in the function of our voter database, much less recording it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When these emails were released in 2021, they stunned Wisconsin observers. \u201cWhat exactly was the National Vote at Home Institute doing with its daily reports? Was it making sure that people were actually voting from home by going door-to-door to collect ballots from voters who had not yet turned theirs in? Was this data sharing a condition of the CTCL grant? And who was really running Milwaukee\u2019s election?\u201d asked Dan O\u2019Donnell, whose election analysis appeared at Wisconsin\u2019s conservative MacIver Institute.<\/p>\n

Kris Teske, the sidelined Green Bay city clerk\u2014in whose office Wisconsin law actually places the responsibility to conduct elections\u2014had of course seen what was happening early on. \u201cI just don\u2019t know where the Clerk\u2019s Office fits in anymore,\u201d she wrote in early July. By August, she was worried about legal exposure: \u201cI don\u2019t understand how people who don\u2019t have the knowledge of the process can tell us how to manage the election,\u201d she wrote on August 28. <\/p>\n

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich simply handed over Teske\u2019s authority to agents from outside groups and gave them leadership roles in collecting absentee ballots, fixing ballots that would otherwise be voided for failure to follow the law, and even supervising the counting of ballots. \u201cThe grant mentors would like to meet with you to discuss, further, the ballot curing process. Please let them know when you\u2019re available,\u201d Genrich\u2019s chief of staff told Teske. <\/p>\n

Spitzer-Rubenstein explained that the National Vote at Home Institute had done the same for other cities in Wisconsin. \u201cWe have a process map that we\u2019ve worked out with Milwaukee for their process. We can also adapt the letter we\u2019re sending out with rejected absentee ballots along with a call script alerting voters. (We can also get people to make the calls, too, so you don\u2019t need to worry about it.)\u201d<\/p>\n

Other emails show that Spitzer-Rubenstein had keys to the central counting facility and access to all the machines before election night. His name was on contracts with the hotel hosting the ballot counting. <\/p>\n

Sandy Juno, who was clerk of Brown County, where Green Bay is located, later testified about the problems in a legislative hearing. \u201cHe was advising them on things. He was touching the ballots. He had access to see how the votes were counted,\u201d Juno said of Spitzer-Rubenstein. Others testified that he was giving orders to poll workers and seemed to be the person running the election night count operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would really like to think that when we talk about security of elections, we\u2019re talking about more than just the security of the internet,\u201d Juno said. \u201cYou know, it has to be security of the physical location, where you\u2019re not giving a third party keys to where you have your election equipment.\u201d <\/p>\n

Juno noted that there were irregularities in the counting, too, with no consistency between the various tables. Some had absentee ballots face-up, so anyone could see how they were marked. Poll workers were seen reviewing ballots not just to see that they\u2019d been appropriately checked by the clerk, but \u201creviewing how they were marked.\u201d And poll workers fixing ballots used the same color pens as the ones ballots had been filled out in, contrary to established procedures designed to make sure observers could differentiate between voters\u2019 marks and poll workers\u2019 marks.<\/p>\n

The plan by Democratic strategists to bring activist groups into election offices worked in part because no legislature had ever imagined that a nonprofit could take over so many election offices so easily. \u201cIf it can happen to Green Bay, Wisconsin, sweet little old Green Bay, Wisconsin, these people can coordinate any place,\u201d said Janel Brandtjen, a state representative in Wisconsin. <\/p>\n

She was right. What happened in Green Bay happened in Democrat-run cities and counties across the country. Four hundred million Zuckerbucks were distributed with strings attached. Officials were required to work with \u201cpartner organizations\u201d to massively expand mail-in voting and staff their election operations with partisan activists. The plan was genius. And because no one ever imagined that the election system could be privatized in this way, there were no laws to prevent it. <\/p>\n

Such laws should now be a priority.<\/strong><\/p>\n
