In 2020 Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent millions “helping” local democrat controlled government entities fund efforts to loosen voting integrity standards.
Mail-balloting was a specific target of funding, and Zuckerberg’s huge spending was instrumental in amassing Joe Biden’s electoral numbers, according to NPR.
Last week the Wisconsin State Senate passed several bills that would make that kind of private funding of public electoral initiatives illegal. Though the Senate bill isn’t likely to be accepted by Democrat Governor Tony Evers, the legislation could serve as a blueprint for other states to fight mega-billionaire manipulation of American elections.
The bills passed by the state’s Senate include SB 207, which would bar local governments from applying for and accepting private money to cover the costs of administering an election.
Other bills passed would allow district attorneys to investigate some election law violations on bordering counties, and would require the Elections Commission to post timely draft minutes of its meetings.
In 2020, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan gave $350 million for efforts around the country to do things like expand the ability to process mail-in votes. Mail-in voting, which lax verification rules in comparison with Absentee voting, was expanded in an unprecedented way during 2020, under a pretext of pandemic exigencies.
Republicans and average citizens in many states pointed to irregularities and suspicious activity regarding mail-in balloting. Among complaints were late changing laws, judicial interventions, maneuvers of Governors and other ad hoc means by which mail-in ballots were allowed to be cast, bundled, collected and counted in ways that were not predicated on laws of state legislatures. The Constitution places authority for carrying out federal elections with state legislatures.
