| | The [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (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 resulted 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 [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (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.
