How 'Zuckerbucks' helped swing the 2020 election for Biden: Facebook CEO funneled $419M into 'nonprofit' local election admin boards 'to help turn out likely Democratic voters'
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 37, and his wife Priscilla Chan, 36, gave $419.5million into two nonprofits that largely donated to Democratic counties

  • The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and The Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) profited grants to counties to help fund the election and implemented Democratic-approved practices, such as mail-in voting

  • Zuckerberg's contributions nearly matched the federal and state funds for COVID-19 related election expenses, which totaled $479.5million

  • CTCL's grants boosted Biden's dollar per vote value and Biden counties were 3.5 times more likely to receiving funding from the group

  • On average, Biden counties received $2.85 per vote, compared to Trump counties that only received $0.89

  • CEIR donated $64.2million of Zuckerberg's money to 22 states and the District of Columbia
