A “Zuckbucks” group is blaming bans on private election funding for potential election issues in November, leveraging the disastrous fallout of Hurricane Helene to push for more funding.
“Many election offices that were damaged by Hurricane Helene are in states that have banned philanthropic funding for election administration without a commensurate increase in state funding,” wrote Center for Tech and Civic Life Director Tiana Epps-Johnson in an email on Thursday, which was obtained by The Federalist.
CTCL shuttled over $320 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to public election officials in 2020, targeting left-leaning areas and boosting Democrat turnout. Due to concerns of third-party meddling, 28 states have since banned election funding like Zuckbucks. These states include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, which are still recovering from Hurricane Helene.
Secretary Mayorkas says he doesn’t have the funds for hurricane victims.
But they have billions of $$$ for illegal fake refugees flooding into the country, to provide free hotels, free food, free healthcare, free cash and free cell phones.

In addition to blaming Zuckbucks bans for obstacles to post-hurricane election administration, Epps-Johson urged that “immediate public funds” be sent to the six affected state election departments to “get elections back online.” “In the long term,” she demanded that Congress provide “more regular funding to election offices.” The email referenced a letter CTCL sent in May, demanding $400 million from Congress for the upcoming election.
