The Center for Tech and Civic Life, which increased Democratic turnout in 2020 by shuttling "Zuckbucks" to public election offices, will be issuing another round of grants to rural areas ahead of November's election.
"This program will help eligible rural and nonmetro election offices modernize outdated voting technology, improve access to voting for rural voters, seniors, and veterans, and make much-needed infrastructure updates to enhance election security and make voting smoother," said CTCL Director Tiana Epps-Johnson in a press release obtained by The Federalist.
It is unclear how much money CTCL is planning to distribute to local election offices before the election.
CTCL launched the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence in 2022, joining electoral influence groups from 2020 to continue working with local election offices.
The group focused on election administration, voter data management, and get-out-the-vote efforts - all areas on which CTCL now focuses.
CTCL launched an effort in 2021 to circumvent those laws with its Election Infrastructure Initiative, billed as "Bringing together election officials, nonprofits, counties, cities, and states" to call on $20 billion in congressional election funding over the next decade.
More recently, CTCL advised officials on censoring speech and swaying election laws.
