The Power of Zuckerbuckd


Nowhere in modern history have we seen the power of the dollar in political contests. The 2020 Presidential election was an prime example of application of capital in determining the outcome of an election. An incumbent President campaigns relentlessly while his opponent is hardly visible. But the supporters of the candidate-in-hiding were clever and without scruples. And they had a well designed plan ready for execution. Only one thing was needed… money, lots of money. Enter a multi-billionaire, Mark Zukerberg. This came as no surprise since Facebook, the brainchild of Zuckerberg, constantly labeled conservative comments as “misinformation”. The cash was distributed from the Chan Zukerberg Initiative to such organizations as the Center for Tech and Civic Life. CTCL is known as a Democratic Party supporter. Money was distributed under the guise “COVID-19 response grants”. However, of this money, earmarked to ensure the safety of pole workers, only 1.9 % actually reached pole workers.The bulk of the funds were used to buy laptops, rent automobiles, attorney fees, and other costs associated with mail-in voting. Election consultants, if I may call them that, have many subtle methods of influencing the vote. On occasion these people would offer their services as voting consultants. They would instruct the locals in voting precinct operations. Usually they would volunteer to fill certain jobs such as supervising the voter registration rolls. They would also canvas prospective voters to determine the voting preferences. They would also visit extended care facilities and use their influence to induce the inhabitants to vote for a particular candidate. All of these efforts were coordinated to produce desired results. The manpower was paid for with Zukerbucks. Zukerbucks were concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Collected data verifies the results of Zukerberg’s investment in the Democratic process. A perfect example of the power of money used in unscrupulous ways in democratic  elections.
