Through a series of open records requests, Broad Liberty, a media outlet I helped found, discovered that the Chicago-based Center for Tech and Civic Life targeted counties that vote Democrat with their election grants.
As early as July 2020, emails show that CTCL and its partners targeted the Democratic strongholds of Allegheny County and Philadelphia, as well as Philadelphia's suburban counties - all of which voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
On August 15, 2020, Boockvar emailed Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia, "Commissioner Marseglia, by this email I am connecting you with Jessica Walls-Lavelle. Jessica, I told Commissioner Marseglia that there may be some Election administration nonprofit grant funds available, and Bucks county is interested." Tellingly, no emails received via the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law requests to the Office of the Pennsylvania Governor, the Pennsylvania Department of State, and several counties showed Republican counties receiving similar invitations or assistance from anyone in the state's administration or working on CTCL's behalf.
Republican Grants Dwarfed By Democrats' Haul Moreover, reports from Broad Liberty and the Foundation for Government Accountability, a right-leaning nonprofit policy organization, show the final private funding totals were heavily skewed in favor of "Blue" counties.
Rural, Republican-tilting counties like Mercer and Luzerne received grants equaling $0.75 cents per registered voter.
In contrast, Delaware County and Chester Counties, both with Democratic majorities, received $5.17 and $6.73 per registered voter, respectively.
Emails show her coordinating with consultants for a group called The Voter Project on numerous counties' grant applications.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
