One State Bans Outside Groups From Funding Elections
Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed a measure into law Wednesday that essentially banned local governments from accepting funding for elections from outside groups.
Senate Bill 222 makes it a felony for local officials and election works to ask for or receive any money to fund elections, except for that which comes from the state or federal government, according to The Associated Press. The move comes as part of a Republican crack-down on outside funding for local elections from Democrat-party operatives.
Election Interference
The state of Georgia had already made it illegal for election officials to receive outside money in 2021. The decision came after Republican lawmakers were alarmed that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg donated more than $400 million to election officials across the U.S., pushing to favor Democrat candidates, The AP noted.
