In 2017 two of America's most powerful women decided voters could not be trusted to preserve democracy. They took matters into their own hands to defeat Trump in 2020.
Pricilla Chan and Olivia Morgan decided the end justified the means...
In the days and weeks following the election of Donald Trump two of the nation’s most powerful women, Pricilla Chan and Olivia Morgan, believed they were witnessing the rise of a new Aldof Hitler who would end democracy in America.1 During a chance meeting between the two women in San Francisco they decided that democracy was too sacred to entrust to the American people. The two women realized that together they had the power and the treasure needed to save democracy by subverting it for the greater good.
Shortly after their accidental meeting, Olivia introduced her husband and former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe to Pricilla and her husband Mark Zuckerberg. During a meeting on Nobb Hill at The Bohemian Club David outlined his plan to defeat President Trump in 2020 on the back of a napkin. He’d need half a billion dollars much of it earmarked for the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) run by a former Obama fellow named Tiana Epps-Johnson.2 Mark remarked that Plouffe’s plan amounted to the ‘privatization of the administration and management of elections’ with David adding ‘with a laser focus on underrepresented communities. The plan was born.
Ten days before President Trump was even inaugurated Mark and Pricilla hired David Plouffe to run the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.3 If you’re interested in learning more about how David helped Mark and Pricilla defeat President Trump for half a billion dollars he wrote it all down in a book titled, “A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump” where he described the election as a block-by-block street fight.4
Plouffe’s plan included traditional strategies like target voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns on a scale never seen before but these efforts were merely designed to mask his real strategy. Plouffe wanted to install his own election officials inside polling places and election administration facilities and he wanted a say in how they did their jobs. Through his general contractor, Center for Tech and Civic Life, Plouffe would install a team of election consultants in major metropolitan areas in the swing states. The CTCL would then recruit, pay, train, and manage this new army of handpicked election officials and workers. The CTCL would then direct each city where to place new polling places and drop boxes dictating the policies and procedures that would be used to ensure the ‘integrity’ of the upcoming election.
For example, in Philadelphia, the CTCL staffers were colocated along with election officials and staffers. They had access to hotlines manned 24/7 by Democratic lawyers and officials providing real-time advice and dispatch of lawyers as necessary. CTCL hired and funded election officials and workers were trained to direct any questions or concerns to CTCL staffers and/or CTCL provided hotlines. The CTCL funded the creation of 800 new polling locations in the city on the condition that the city locate them at addresses provided by the organization. Additionally, the CTCL funded ballot drop boxes on a similar condition. David Plouffe and the Zuckerberg had effectively privatized the election injecting the money and resources to amplify Democratic votes.5
The mainstream media insisted the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Center for Tech and Civic Life were nonpartisan groups funding election efforts across the nation but a new report proves what was obvious from the start - that David Plouffe’s election machine was designed to manufacture votes for Democrats.6 The “Zuck Bucks” were invested (on an absolute and per capita basis) in Democratic urban areas in swing states according to a new report based on CTCL tax records.7
After Plouffe published his 2020 confession “A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump”, 19 states banned the sort of election privatization programs envisioned by Plouffe, funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and executed by the Center for Tech and Civic Life. Ironically, Democrats were perhaps more afraid that GOP donors would implement Plouffe’s strategy even more broadly in the 2022 and 2024 election cycles causing them to work with Republicans to outlaw similar efforts.8 In fact, Democrats point out that using private funds to fund public functions and distributing those funds to favor one demographic over another is a clear violation of the equal protection clause of the constitution.9
In response to laws outlawing the privatization of elections the Center for Tech and Civic Life has rebranded itself the “U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence.” Flush with an initial dark money investment of $80 million, the rebranded group plans to offer virtual “coaching and management” to election administrators and workers. In 2020, the CTCL helped local officials lockout Republican election observers who in prior elections lodged complaints and challenges when laws were broken. The Alliance plans to give election administrators the ability to push the boundaries of election law. The court’s reluctance and general refusal to intervene in elections gives the Alliance tremendous power making them the de facto arbiter of local elections.10
Perhaps even more insidious is the effort by Democrats, supported by the mainstream media, to malign laws designed to outlaw the privatization of elections as racist - the president himself labels them Jim Crow 2.0.11 In fact, Joe Biden claims that if Congress doesn’t act to overturn laws outlawing privatization of elections the 2022 elections might not be legitimate.12 After 2000 Mules exposed the vulnerabilities of the Zuckerberg-funded ballot drop boxes Democrats began lashing out in memes on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok.13
Just this week the “Democracy, Texas Style” meme began spreading like wildfire. The meme claimed that the 4.7 million citizens of Harris County, Texas only had one ballot drop-off location. Democratically-controlled cities in swing states justified the installation of ballot drop boxes because they were 100% paid for by Zuck Bucks and if they didn’t install them they’d have to return the money. Suddenly there were thousands of unmonitored ballot drop boxes in swing states across the country. The additional election workers recruited and paid for by the CTCL were charged with setting up a system to collect ballots from these boxes on a daily basis. Most states had laws/regulations requiring the installation of security cameras with each dropbox but the CTCL specifically forbade the use of Zuck Bucks to pay for security infrastructure - including the installation of electrical service, internet access, and CCTV equipment. Despite the legal requirements to secure the drop boxes most election officials were advised it would be better to ask for forgiveness than permission. The big question is WHY. Why did Plouffe and the CTCL want drop boxes at all much less without security?
It turns out that Democrats were unaware that the United States already had a prolific, robust, and secure infrastructure designed to deliver and pick up ballots - the United States Postal Service. In fact, the USPS delivered more than 135 million ballots to and from voters. In Harris County alone there are more than 7,000 union workers (90%+ are Democrats) who will drop off and pick up ballots six days a week. For voters who don’t trust their mailman, they could drop their ballot off at any one of 584 postal boxes14 or at any one of the 91 post offices15 in the county. Most people don’t realize that the USPS protects the integrity of the mail through the use of robust systems that capture the license plates of cars that enter a post office, the device ID of cell phones carried into post offices, and video recordings of individuals associated with both. The USPS even has its own police that carry guns and can make arrests.
Why would we want local election officials (who claim they don’t have enough resources) to set up a duplicate infrastructure? The Democrats warned voters in 2020 not to trust the USPS as they might be too busy to get their ballot to election officials in time.16 Democrats even argued that when a Republican is president they can stop the USPS from delivering Democratic ballots to election officials.17 The most common reason stated for building a separate postal service for ballots is postage. Democrats argue that Black voters simply can’t afford the cost of stamps and as a result, they cannot afford to vote without ballot drop boxes. The reality is that most states offer absentee voters pre-paid postage on their return envelopes and the states that don’t point out that while the USPS requires postage ballots without postage are always delivered as required by law.18 FWIW please put postage on your ballot.
