| Memos hint Zuckerberg to continue big spending on Georgia election workers, infrastructure |
| 2021-05-11 |
| [Just The News] Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's multimillion dollar investment in the 2020 presidential election process may extend into this year or beyond, at least if Fulton County is any measure. Georgia's largest county, which encompasses the blue-leaning city of Atlanta, received more than $6.3 million in private grants from the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) to conduct elections during the 2020 pandemic, but recently reported it did not use all the money last year. Now it would like to spend $858,667 in leftover proceeds in the future, according to county election officials' memos obtained by Just the News under the state's Freedom of Information Act. CTCL, which got hundreds of millions from Zuckerberg and his wife to spend during the 2020 election, also hinted of bigger plans for the future in its after-action questionnaire for Fulton County. "If your annual budget for elections permanently doubled, what would you be able to accomplish that you can't accomplish now?" the questionnaire asked.
