Meet The Tax-Exempt ‘Charity' Secretly Bankrolling Democrats' Get-Out-The-Vote Operations
2023-08-17
[Federalist] A left-wing, tax-exempt charity styling itself as "nonpartisan" is secretly funding Democrat-favorable voter registration efforts in key battleground states across the country, according to a new report.

Published by the Capital Research Center (CRC) on Tuesday, the report details how the Voter Registration Project (VRP) — which for years was privately known as the Everybody Votes campaign — funneled millions of dollars from left-wing billionaires into leftist groups in highly contested battleground states to register likely-Democrat voters.

"[F]unded by the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, and coordinated with cutthroat Democratic consultants, the Everybody Votes campaign used the guise of civic-minded charity to selectively register millions of ’non-white’ swing-state voters in the hopes of getting out the Democratic vote for a 2020 presidential win. It worked," the report reads.

As documented by the report, VRP seemingly first came to fruition in November 2015, when John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman, received an email from the president of EMILY’s List, a political action committee that backs pro-abortion, female Democrats for public office. The email "asked if [Podesta] approved of the Everybody Votes campaign, a $106 million project designed to last five years and generate 2.2 million new votes in eight states by 2020—a project Podesta had been ’hoping for.'"

The proposal, according to CRC, was nearly identical to a plan sent to Podesta earlier that year by the president of the Wyss Foundation, a tax-exempt organization founded by left-wing Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, who has "a history of illegal interference in U.S. elections." That plan was purportedly crafted by Corridor Partners, a Democrat consulting firm.

According to CRC, the Corridor Partners plan had been edited to remove blatantly partisan language, suggesting an effort to obscure the initiative’s true purpose of registering likely-Democrat voters. It’s worth mentioning that federal law expressly prohibits partisan voter registration through nonprofits: "voter education or registration activities conducted in a biased manner that favors (or opposes) one or more candidates is prohibited."

#2  If they filed a 990 Schedule B (which they would have to have done as a 501(c)(3), then any single-source contributing $5k or more in a single year that source would have to be listed.

Below $5,000 per source, you are correct.

#1  Not only 'tax-exempt', but exempt from financial source reporting as well. Foundations and charities have been money laundering cut-outs for decades.
