A tech group backed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg during the 2020 election cycle has announced jurisdictions for a new election-related initiative that include portions of the battleground states of Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, and Michigan.

The initiative, called the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, includes an organization sponsored by left-leaning donor Arabella Advisors.

After the controversy following distribution of $350 million in grants by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, to promote mail-in voting, drop boxes, and other election-related projects, the billionaire said they no longer would finance the liberal Center for Tech and Civic Life for future election projects.

However, in April, the center announced it was establishing the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence. As reported by The Daily Signal in July, the largest funder of the alliance’s $80 million, five-year initiative is The Audacious Project, financed largely by those connected with the Big Tech sector, including Microsoft and Amazon.
