group of House Republicans sent a letter Monday to the left-leaning group Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), calling on them to explain where the hundreds of millions of dollars they were given during the COVID-19 pandemic went, saying the group spent less than one percent on personal protective equipment (PPE).
Quote:
The Daily Caller first obtained the letter which was spearheaded by Republican New York Rep. Claudia Tenney who was joined by 13 other House Republicans. The letter mentions that CTCL gave $350 million to nearly 2,500 election officials in 48 states and the District of Columbia in 2020. The lawmakers call on the CTCL to immediately publish their full financial 990s for public review, saying it is the groups legal obligation as a registered 501(c)(3).
"Many state and local entities have reported spending your grant money on expenses as varied and unrelated to COVID-19 as advertising, designing absentee ballots, registering teen voters, automatic voter registration, and even pay raises and new vehicle purchases. An elections supervisor in Lowndes County, Georgia, stated that CTCL was 'very lenient regarding what we could spend the money on. They put virtually no restrictions on it as long as it relates to the election.' Furthermore, it appears that 92% of CTCL grants were given to overwhelmingly Democrat-leaning precincts," the letter states.
Quote:
"These reports and others have raised red flags around the country and states are now taking action to prohibit this type of outside investment in the future. To date, twelve states have or are planning to introduce legislation to prohibit election officials from accepting private funds. Given the serious questions and inconsistencies surrounding CTCL grants, it is especially vital that your organization promptly release its full financial data so the public can properly assess the influence of this $350 million during the 2020 election," they added in the letter.

FWIW.
I doubt any legal action will result against the perpetrators of this corrupt behavior.
However, if states follow through with legislation that prohibits this blatant disregard for election integrity then the information spreading about this travesty will be worth the effort in the future. Need more than 11 - 12 states to act.
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”
