A left-wing Swiss billionaire has been bankrolling the voting systems used in American elections, with an alleged bias toward liberals, a U.S. senator reveals.
United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), a member of the Senate Rules Committee, pressed Benjamin Hovland, Vice Chair of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), on foreign influence in U.S. elections through what he called “a new form of Zuckerbucks: partisan, foreign-backed funding for local election administrators through the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence.”
Hagerty calls it a “highly problematic scheme in which left-wing organizations provide substantial, foreign-funded resources for conducting American elections at the local level.”
Much of the funding comes from Hansjörg Wyss, a Swiss billionaire and multi-million dollar donor to left-wing causes through his “Hub Project.”
“This is an $80 million initiative, funded by a web of left-wing entities, to ‘help’ local election administrators conduct elections,” Hagerty explained. “It’s a new form of ‘Zuckerbucks,’ is what it is. This network of entities has received tens—if not hundreds—of millions of dollars from a foreign left-wing billionaire named Hansjörg Wyss. He’s not a U.S. Citizen, so he can’t contribute directly to our elections, but he’s found a way to be involved in our elections.”
“After being repeatedly pressed by Hagerty to acknowledge whether foreign donations used to conduct American elections are acceptable, Vice Chair Hovland conceded that this interference is inappropriate,” a statement from Hagerty’s office reveals.
“Absolutely not. Of course not,” Vice Chair Hovland answered.
“I want to be clear with that because what this is is Zuckerbucks 2.0 coming from a foreign billionaire involving themselves in our elections. What I want to make certain is that this Commission—that no Election Assistance Commission dollars are commingled in any way with these foreign funds,” said Hagerty.

For WEF???
Foreign election monies for swaying U.S. elections should be confiscated and used to pay down the national debt. Bypass politicians sticky fingers so they can’t be skimming money off the top, of course.
Do not allow any campaign donations from foreign sources, or from unknown dark sources. It’s a U.S. election. Only funds from U.S. sources allowed.
Crooked leftist damnocrats have made this possible!
With the cooperation of their RINO codefendants!
How stupid does he think we are ? “..that no Election Assistance Commission dollars are commingled in any way with these foreign funds,” said Hagerty.” If foreign $$ is being donated it’s not without a reason – this is nothing short of corruption on the part of those receiving the funds.
Of course, all congressional and senate seats are for sale. All have their hands out for “campaign” contributions. Been that way for decades.
