On Sunday, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to say Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg should be prosecuted after reports emerged that a group he donated millions to, the US Alliance for Election Excellence, recently gave money to an election board in Georgia, despite a ban on such funding after the 2020 election.
Trump said, "He cheated on the Election(s). The whole system is RIGGED. Why isn't he being prosecuted? The Democrats only know how to cheat. America isn't going to take it much longer!"
Trump's calls for Zuckerberg's prosecution follows a report from Fox News that the Honest Elections Project, an elections watchdog group, found that the DeKalb County Board of Registration and Elections in Georgias committed a "flagrant and egregious" violation of a state ban on private funding by accepting $2 million from the Zuckerberg-backed group.
According to the Daily Mail, part of the funding "came in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic" and helped "jurisdictions deal with the pandemic by providing ballot drop boxes, voting equipment, additional manpower, protective gear for poll workers and public education campaigns on new voting methods, among other expenses."
The state ban on private funding to elections boards was implemented after the 2020 election, where Biden narrowly won Georgia. The accusations were that left-wing groups, including some funded by Zuckerberg, disproportionately helped Democratic-leaning counties by increasing voter turnout.
Jason Snead, the Honest Elections Project Executive Director, told Fox, "We're now fairly well convinced this is an attempt to do two things: to get around those bans on private funding by doing either what they did in DeKalb County, by looking for loopholes and end-arounds, doing what they can to get money into these offices; or by doing what I think they feel is even more important work, which is to pump influence into these offices."
"They are trying to gather data and reshape the way these offices function so that they essentially become left-wing outposts for progressive voting reform. All of what they do is a ruse in order to get into these offices and accomplish that goal," Snead added.
