A network of groups linked to major Republican donors and conservative billionaires is bankrolling an extensive effort to scrutinize voting procedures. Backers including Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein, Hobby Lobby founder David Green, Donors Trust, the Bradley Impact Fund, and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation have given more than $140 million to these groups, which are 501(c)(4) organizations. The groups’ tactics include “scrutinizing voter registrations on an industrial scale and working to slow down the vote count, bury local election officials in paperwork and lawsuits, and elect like-minded politicians at the state and local levels who will support efforts to contest the vote.” Supporters of the effort say they are trying to ensure the integrity of elections, but an elections expert said, “They’re designed to set the stage for claiming the election was stolen post-election.” (Wall Street Journal — subscription)
