As a part of our occasional series on the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), Capital Research Center (CRC) published an analysis of the $350 million donated by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan to this allegedly “nonpartisan” nonprofit. CTCL in turn re-granted the funds to thousands of governmental election officials around the country to “help” them conduct the 2020 election.
In the interest of full transparency and to assist others in researching this activity, we are providing a spreadsheet showing CTCL’s known grants to Pennsylvania counties, grant spending per capita, and voting comparisons.
The updated spreadsheet showing grants totaling $22 million in Pennsylvania is available here.
