Charity or Billions for the Left's Voter Pipeline?

 There's no question that the left dominates the field of politically active nonprofits, particularly those engaged in mass voter registration drives.

According to a representative from one right-leaning Christian voter registration 501(c)(3) group, it costs them between $44 and $52 to register a new voter.

Simply mailing people a voter registration application won't yield results-most unregistered Americans are probably disinclined to vote.

There are just over 1.8 million nonprofits registered with the IRS ... [including] many groups that Americans don't normally think of as a 'nonprofit,' like foundations, business associations, labor unions, veterans organizations, churches, educational institutions, and others....If 20% of these remaining nonprofits do voter engagement, that translates into 170,000 voterized nonprofits....For foundations and donors, you can take steps to create space for your grantees to do voter engagement.

Mind the Gap suggests two "Nonpartisan" nonprofits targeting this vote-rich strata: the(3) Voter Participation Center and(4) Center for Voter Information, which sent millions of mail-in ballot applications to voters across battleground states in the 2020 election and again in Virginia's 2021 gubernatorial race.

The Voter Participation Center boasts that it's "Dedicated to increasing the share of unmarried women, people of color, Millennials, Gen Z, and other historically under-represented groups in the electorate." In 2012, liberal journalist Sasha Issenberg spelled out the obvious: "Even though the was officially nonpartisan, for tax purposes, there was no secret that the goal of all its efforts was to generate new votes for Democrats".

The far-left Center for Popular Democracy supports pre-registering 16-year-olds when they apply for driver's licenses or enroll in high schools civics courses, "Automatically adding them to the voter rolls when they turn 18." The Funders Committee would have states adopt faculty-run voter registration programs at high schools, advising them to include "Student leadersas students are influenced by their peers." Sound problematic? In February 2021, New York Democrat Rep. Grace Meng introduced a constitutional amendment to lower the voting age to 16, with praise from Rock the Vote and other advocacy groups.
