Congress Should Immediately Ban Zuckbucks Across The Nation

Voters gave Republicans a mandate on a range of issues. Fixing the problems that led to the 2020 election chaos is one of them.

Republicans should use their control of the federal government to prevent oligarchs from influencing elections through nonprofits, as Mark Zuckerberg did in 2020. The American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act of 2023 would ban states from using private funds to run elections along with a host of election integrity measures that would limit fraud and restore confidence in American democracy.

Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, infamously funneled $420 million into the 2020 election cycle, including $350 million into county election offices, under the guise of helping cash-strapped counties cover the costs of running elections during the Covid-19 lockdowns. Some claimed this was an example of civic-minded, wealthy Americans giving their tax-free donations to free up tax dollars during a difficult time in the nation’s history. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Zuckerberg’s donations ended up with the far-left-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR). These took a page out of Democrats’ decade-old playbook by funding “charitable” election registration and GOTV efforts that boost turnout among demographics who tend to vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.

Zuckbucks went overwhelmingly to Democrat-majority counties in 2020. In Wisconsin, for example, 90 percent of the $10 million the CTCL spent there went to 20 counties that voted for Joe Biden, averaging $3.75 per person in Biden counties versus $0.55 per person in Donald Trump counties. This same imbalance occurred in other swing states that received Zuckerberg’s “charity.”
