Florida Counties Return Unused Zuckerberg Election Funds

Florida counties that received money from a nonprofit financed by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg either have paid back or are in the process of paying back all funds that weren’t spent during the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election.

The move is in compliance with a new Florida law that restricts private money from funding election administration.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative gave almost $400 million last year to the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a left-leaning nonprofit that used the money for grants to election jurisdictions across the country to deal with challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many critics objected that the money predominantly went to Democratic-leaning jurisdictions.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election watchdog group, threatened legal action against Palm Beach County to push the county to return the leftover money.
