With Attempted Repeal Of ‘Zuckbucks’ Ban, Virginia Dems Aim To Flood Elections With Billionaire Cash

In Virginia, Republicans and Democrats voted last spring Elections were banned from private funding Part of a national surge in election integrity legislation meant to push back against lawlessness, chaos and omissions Americans witnessed during 2020 elections. The goal is to SB 80 — and similar bills passed in 23 other states — was to prevent another flood of “Zuckbucks,” When the partisan Center for Tech and Civic Life Mark Zuckerberg donated $350 million to (largely Democratic) election offices in the country.

Now that achievement is threatened as Senate Democrats attempt to repeal the Zuckbucks ban, exposing Virginia’s elections to unaccountable money and partisan influence forever.

SB 1180 Sen. Adam EbbinD-Arlington, who voted last year to ban Zuckbucks. The Senate Committee on Privileges & Elections voted SB 1180 out on partisan lines. It will now be sent to the Democrat-controlled Senate. This same committee voted unanimously The ban was passed a year ago.

What has changed? The answer is simple: CTCL’s latest scheme.

Two months after Virginia’s Democratic-controlled Senate voted to ban Zuckbucks, CTCL launched the U.S. Alliance for Election ExcellenceA $80 million coalition of strategy groups, activists, and political advisors with a dark vision for America’s elections. Two members represent $1.6 billion of Arabella Advisors “dark money” Network, the most powerful Liberal lobbying force Washington, D.C.

CTCL assured the nation that the alliance was in place at the time. wouldn’t provide private fundingIt is only “training” for election administrators. Now it’s dangling six- and seven-figure grants to lure county elections officials into joining this secretive project — money which supposedly comes with “almost no restrictions on how it can be spent,” According AP

In reality, secret documents reveal How the alliance was created “scholarships” To pay the county membership fees, these awards were then converted to “credits” What countries are eligible to buy services Exclusively from alliance partners, all of whom are partisan groups aiming to expand vote-by-mail, roll back voter ID laws, and implement the left’s raft of extreme election “reforms.”

Nevada’s Clark County, centered in Las Vegas, got $3,000,000. Madison, Wisconsin — one of the first cities to Propose and get Zuckbucks in 2020 —  got another $1.5 million. North Carolina’s Brunswick and Forsyth Counties The funding was declined but agreed to CTCL’s “training” courses. And after an ugly battle, Greenwich, Connecticut, narrowly voted (104–101) to accept a $500,000 grant for allianceZuckbuck zealots label skeptics “conspiracy theorists” Get sick of the “MAGA virus.”

The CTCL granted grants to three states that had legislatures in the seven where it was available. This was only for Democratic governors. Veto the bills — in Wisconsin’s case, Do it twice.

This makes Virginia the next battleground for Zuckbucks, if Democrats succeed in repealing their ban on private financing. The Alliance for Election Excellence (SB 1180) is included in the bill. carveout for:
