Zuckerberg-funded group violated Georgia law with $2M for elections board: watchdog

An election integrity group is calling on Georgia election officials to investigate a donation from a Zuckerberg-linked group that they believe violates state law.

The funding in question originated from the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, the project said in a letter last week calling for a probe by the state attorney general, secretary of state and state elections board.

"We’re now fairly well convinced this is an attempt to do two things," Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead told Fox News Digital. "To get around those bans on private funding by doing either what they did in DeKalb County, by looking for loopholes and end-a rounds, doing what they can to get money into these offices; or by doing what I think they feel is even more important work, which is to pump influence into these offices."
