Soon after, the [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (CTCL) whose previous annual revenues never exceeded $1.2 million, began sending agents into states to recruit certain Democrat strongholds to prepare grants requesting monies from CTCL.  For example, CTCL approved a $100,000 grant to the Mayor of [[Racine]], WI in May of 2020 directing the Mayor to recruit four other cities ([[Green Bay]], [[Kenosha]], [[Madison]], and Milwaukee) to develop a joint grant request of CTCL. This effort results in these cities submitting a “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” on June 15, 2020 to CTCL and, in turn, receiving $6.3 million to implement the plan. This privatization of elections undermined the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved and requires respect for equal protection by making all resources available equally to all voters.

The provision of Zuckerberg-CTCL funds allowed these Democrat strongholds to spend roughly $47 per voter, compared to $4 to $7 per voter in traditionally [[Republican]] areas of the state.
