Lonestar Bias: Texas Election Officials Received $36 Million to Turn State Blue BY J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS MAR 29, 2021 10:01 AM ET
“A new report documents that private foundations spent more than $36 million to pay local election offices in Texas to alter policies and practices in the 2020 election. The money was overwhelmingly spent in solid Democratic strongholds and designed to maximize turnout in these Biden-leaning jurisdictions. The money was concentrated in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley, according to a new report.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation, with which I am associated, reviewed the grant letters and other government documents executed between Texas county election officials and the Center for Technology for Civic Life, a nonprofit that poured over $350 million nationwide into government election offices in order to have those offices adopt policies the nonprofit supported.
The nonprofit was funded by Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg after a dinner meeting where controversial Biden Justice Department nominee Vanita Gupta advocated for the strategy in 2019.
Other organizations donated another $100 million nationwide to local election offices in addition to the Zuckerberg-related nonprofit, raising the total to influence government election policy to almost half a billion dollars. PJ Media was the first to report the details of this plan last April.
Documents from Texas county election officials obtained for the Public Interest Legal Foundation report show that the private dollars were focused on adopting procedures not always consistent with Texas law and practices, such as drive-through voting and voting by mail for any reason, contrary to Texas law.
In other words, the private dollars were used in a way to pressure officials to alter existing Texas election procedures adopted by the Texas legislature.
Texas Rep. Phil King has introduced HB 2283to solve the problem and prohibit private dollars from flowing into government election offices. The bill has sat in committee since March 15.
The private dollars appear to have made a difference. Tarrant County received $1.6 million in Zuckerberg cash. Biden’s performance improved 43% in raw votes over Hillary Clinton’s compared to Trump’s increase of 18% in raw votes. The same dynamic played out in urban areas across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Democratic urban cores opened the floodgates to Biden votes – all through the creation of structural bias.
Austin area counties also received Zuckerberg dollars, and raw Democrat vote totals there jumped 70 and 80 percent over 2016 in counties like Hays and Williamson, according to the PILF report.
So how does this happen? The Zuckerberg dollars turned urban offices into massive turnout machines. As I wrote:
What these grants did was build structural bias into the 2020 election where structural bias matters most – in densely populated urban cores. It converted election offices in key jurisdictions with deep reservoirs of Biden votes into Formula One turnout machines. The hundreds of millions of dollars built systems, hired employees from activist groups, bought equipment and radio advertisements. It did everything that street activists could ever dream up to turn out Biden votes if only they had unlimited funding. It is true that red counties in Texas also received grants, but those were fig leaf grants designed to insulate the Center For Technology and Civic life from accusations of bias. More importantly, those grants were smaller, sometimes only $5,000, and barely enough to make any dent in behaviors, unlike the large blue-county grants in Texas.
If the Texas election were confined only to those counties that received Zuckerberg dollars, the report notes, Biden would have won Texas by 270,000 votes. That’s the point. The private dollars created efficiencies and capacities. When a given county is majority blue to begin with, such as Harris or Travis, and you create efficiencies and capacities in the election process in those counties, you are manufacturing votes for Democrats that did not exist before the efficiencies and capacities were put in place with Zuckerberg dollars.
Some might wonder why Zuckerberg money was wasted on Texas, a state Trump was sure to win.
Two answers. First, Texas was not always a certain Texas win. The October spin in the Democrat-friendly media was that Texas was in play. Second, and more importantly, the play in Texas wasn’t about 2020. It was about flipping Texas blue in the future. And if and when that happens, it will be done by building out efficiencies and capacities in the counties in 2020 that were part of the trial run.
Now you understand why banning private money that builds in bias in Texas is so important.”
I now understand how Tarrant County (Ft.Worth) turned blue for the first time. This and they hired a former Smartmatic employee (from Venezuela) as their election supervisor...
Yep im from there. We were shocked. No way that's actually the case. Although i did have a neighbor with a Beto yard sign back when he was their darling lol
I met someone who worked in the supervisor's office in 2020 and witnessed the steal herself. She told me that she KNEW she was the only Trump supporter in the office but no one questioned her because she's not white. On Friday after the election, the boss asked her to leave early since they were done counting. She came back about an hour later (she forgot her purse) and was surprised to see the entire staff, minus her, still counting new ballots she had never seen before. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked very scared when she walked in. Her boss screamed at her and demanded to know why she came back, she told her, got the purse and left. The next day all those news ballots were gone, and Tarrant County went blue for the first time in 50 years.
Yeah, I knew that. What a mess.
Turning the ballot box blue is wholly different than turning the state blue.
No wonder it was so close to being blue.
So that is how that nut job Harris County DA (Houston) got reelected. EVERYONE I spoke to prior to the election was so very ready to vote this piece of communist shit out of office. Kim Ogg is a Soros puppet and isn't fit for office of any kind. She wouldn't even make a proper dog catcher even though she's a bitch.
As long as nothing is done to secure the ballot boxes/voting machines and clean up the corrupt Judiciary Industrial Complex, turning blue is inevitable. Everybody, Dem or GOP, uses fraud and outside money to get elected so change is not going to come from there.
Trying to block private money from getting into the election process is like trying to keep fire ants out of your yard...its just not going to happen.
Our system of electoral government has serious flaws that outside entities have exploited to our detriment. The only solution is to attack and destroy those outside entities. Only then will we be free again.
As we handle them with kids gloves trying to avoid having to destroy them, hoping somehow they will see the light, hoping more of us will see the light, they are feeding our children propaganda to the point our children will never know freedom. Our own children will become the outside entities bent on our country's destruction. That's the overall plan, destruction from within and self perpetuating destruction to boot.
Sad. Very sad.
