Someone should really look into these "Centers" as money laundering and fraud outlets.
Zuckerberg, 37, and his wife Priscilla Chan, 36, donated $419.5million to The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and The Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), which the report says was given with specific conditions.

In the case of CTCL, all three of its founders previously worked for a now-defunct organization called the New Organizing Institute (NIO), that was run by a former Obama staffer to train left-leaning activists in digital campaign strategy.
In 2014, the Washington Post called the 'NIO' the 'the left's think tank for campaign know-how' and 'the Democratic Party's Hogwarts for digital wizardry.'
A new report documents that private foundations spent more than $36 million to pay local election offices in Texas to alter policies and practices in the 2020 election. The money was overwhelmingly spent in solid Democratic strongholds and designed to maximize turnout in these Biden-leaning jurisdictions. The money was concentrated in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley, according to a new report.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation, with which I am associated, reviewed the grant letters and other government documents executed between Texas county election officials and the Center for Technology for Civic Life, a nonprofit that poured over $350 million nationwide into government election offices in order to have those offices adopt policies the nonprofit supported.
The nonprofit was funded by Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg after a dinner meeting where controversial Biden Justice Department nominee Vanita Gupta advocated for the strategy in 2019.
Other organizations donated another $100 million nationwide to local election offices in addition to the Zuckerberg-related nonprofit, raising the total to influence government election policy to almost half a billion dollars. PJ Media was the first to report the details of this plan last April.
Documents from Texas county election officials obtained for the Public Interest Legal Foundation report show that the private dollars were focused on adopting procedures not always consistent with Texas law and practices, such as drive-through voting and voting by mail for any reason, contrary to Texas law.
The Center for Tech and Civil Life (CTCL), a voter advocacy group funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, donated $7.4 million last year to Detroit to, among other things, “dramatically expand strategic voter education and outreach” in a blue city key to Joe Biden’s 2020 election win, according to memos obtained by Just the News under an open records request.
Detroit received three grants in 2020 from CTCL for $200,000, $3,512,000, and $3,724,450, according to the records released under Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The $200,000 grant, according to CTCL, was to “be used exclusively for the public purpose of planning and operationalizing safe and secure election administration in the City of Detroit.”
For the $3,512,000 grant, “The objective of the grant is to ensure safe election day voting and dramatically expand strategic voter education and outreach efforts. The funding allotted to the department will be utilized to provide assistance to voters with mail ballot requests, expand in-person early mail voting opportunities, utilize secure drop-boxes to facilitate the return of absentee ballots, and deploy additional technology to expedite and improve the accuracy of the mail ballot process,” according to the Detroit Office of Development and Grants.
In the $3.7 million grant, Detroit set aside $2.7 million “to increase pay for 8,000 poll workers,” $961,000 for increasing “pay for election staff working at the Receiving/Verification Boards,” and $350,000 “to procure an additional ten (10) high speed ballot counting machines for the absentee ballot operation.”
The $2.7 million set aside for 8,000 poll workers on Election Day, “assuming a 13 hour work day,” according to the Detroit City Clerk, comes out to about $26 an hour.
In November, Just the News reported that Detroit had also approved a $1 million contract with William A. Phillips’ “staffing firm P.I.E. Management, LLC to hire up to 2,000 workers to work the polls and staff the ballot counting machines,” which paid poll workers “at least $50 per hour.”
