Zuckerberg Funded 2020 Election Grants in at Least 21 Pennsylvania Counties

Grant monies awarded to help fund the 2020 election in at least 21 different Pennsylvania counties were heavily skewed toward counties with high Democratic registration and recent voting turnout, an analysis from Broad + Liberty shows.

A month later, the couple donated another $100 million to CTCL. Approximately $22 million in total was granted from CTCL to Pennsylvania counties.

Rep. Jim Struzzi, a sponsor of the Pennsylvania bill, asserted in a The Center Square article that CTCL's actions may violate the 14th amendment because "All eligible voters must be given equal access to their right to vote." Allowing grants to some counties and not others is unfair, he said.

While it is true that the CTCL gave grants to "Red" counties like Luzerne, Erie and Mifflin, those grants were a fraction of what was given to bluer counties, especially in the southeast.

CTCL has given grants to 18 Pennsylvania counties, 11 of which supported Trump for president four years ago.

At least two of the grant request submissions show that the counties did not request a specific dollar figure from the CTCL, but instead were leaving the grant award to be decided by the nonprofit.

Reports have varied as to the number of counties that have accepted grants from CTCL, but below is a list of all the counties that accepted a grant, as listed in a spreadsheet from CTCL. If a county has a hyperlink it will take you to grant documents obtained by Broad + Liberty.
