Mark Zuckerberg-linked nonprofit will not donate any money for midterm elections after doling out $350million in 2020 - following backlash from conservatives who claim the Facebook founder influenced the presidential race
2022-04-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Center for Technology and Civic Life donated grants in 2020 to election offices, mostly in Democrat-backed counties

  • The non-profit back then financed 2,500 election sites, including buying new ballot counting equipment and pickup trucks to haul voting machines

  • Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, along with two supporting groups, received $220,000 from Facebook’s top employees

  • Former President Donald Trump's campaigns have never been approached by Facebook executives or received any money from the tech giant

  • Facebook has sparked outrage and criticism from conservatives, with many referring to the CEO's donations as 'Zuckerbucks'
Instead, the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) announced on Monday that it is launching a different program.

Dubbed the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, the $80-million, five-year effort is aimed to create a network for the nation's thousands of local election officials, who can apply for aid to improve their technology and processes.

'Unfortunately, years of underinvestment means many local election departments often have limited capacity and training. The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence is bringing together world-class partners so that local election officials no longer have to go it alone,' said Tiana Epps-Johnson, CTCL's executive director, who announced the new program at the TED2022 conference.
