Voters in Michigan have filed an appeal against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, alleging she violated election laws during the 2020 cycle. The lawsuit focuses on the influx of private money from Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, known as "Zuckbucks," which was distributed through the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL). Critics argue the funds were selectively used to increase turnout in Democrat-leaning urban areas.
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Center for Tech and Civic Life
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative provided $350 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) to fund local election offices during the 2020 cycle. These grants were used for equipment, hazard pay, and the installation of hundreds of ballot drop boxes, primarily in swing states. Critics argue that private funding of public election infrastructure creates potential conflicts of interest and partisan advantages.
