A nonpartisan organization that trains election workers from across the country is now being run by two liberal voting activists—one who previously worked for the nonprofit that distributed hundreds of millions of dollars of Mark Zuckerberg’s election grants during the 2020 elections. The grants were supposedly to “help” local governments run elections, but most of the money went to election offices in Democrat-run localities.
Meanwhile, most board members of the National Association of Election Officials, commonly known as The Election Center, are current or former elections officials from heavily blue counties.
“Left-wing activists want to insert ‘progressive’ groups into our election machinery, making partisan actors a permanent part of how we count ballots in all future elections,” Hayden Ludwig, director of public policy research at conservative advocacy group Restoration of America, told The Daily Signal.
The Election Center is holding training for elected officials at its 38th Annual National Conference from Aug. 26-30 in Orlando, Florida.
The co-CEOs who began running the organization in December and February are Tammy Patrick and Joe Gloria, respectively. Research from Restoration of America shows each has a left-leaning political past. The two replaced Tim Mattice, who was the executive director of the group since 2015, according to an Election Center December press release.
Patrick is a board member of the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit that doled out more than $400 million in grants funded by Facebook founder Zuckerberg. She was also previously senior adviser to the Elections Program at the Democracy Fund, an organization started by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who donates to various liberal organizations. President Barack Obama also appointed Patrick to his Presidential Commission on Election Administration in 2013.

Another for the “Why am I not surprised” file.
I did not say anything in this article that is preventing Republicans from becoming election workers. As an election worker, I have noted that this is among the biggest problems republicans have during elections. There’s not enough of us working the elections.
So instead of fussing, it’s time to get active. If you don’t get active and You don’t do anything, complaining is worthless. Even in many cases. Detrimental.
the apathy you describe is amplified by the lack of interest in this particular thread.
FakeNewsMSM is still able to allude to Russia collusion to help Trump 2016 because of a few dollars of FB posts, YET they never ever mention Zuckerbucks $400 million-plus interference on behalf of Dems in the 2020 presidential election!
So, all of the folks complaining about elections…how much money did the RNC or anyone spend on local election boards?
None?
And, yet the complaints continue.
The Grand Old Puddies keep denying to themselves that modern politics is Rollerball.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, our Corporate Anthem"
That’s ok, the GOP is busy with loyalty pledges
