During the 2020 election, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Pricilla Chan, donated tremendous amounts to non-profit organizations around the country.

In fact, the pair donated about $400 million during the election cycle. That money then ended up helping liberals more than conservatives, as the AP reported, saying “Zuckerberg’s money was largely distributed through a nonpartisan foundation that had liberal roots. Conservative groups cite analyses that the money went disproportionately to Democratic-leaning counties in key states such as Florida and Pennsylvania.”

Numerous red states then stepped in to ban such private donations to election organizations, one of which was Georgia. It’s post-Zuckerbucks law requires that all donations made to local election offices to be distributed by the secretary of state.

One Georgia county, DeKalb, defied that law. They accepted $2 million from the Center for Tech and Civic Life, the non-profit that received the lion’s share of 2020 Zuckerbucks.
