John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:Did election shenanigans in Indian Country tilt the 2020 election? ([link removed]
Left-of-center nonprofits played a pivotal role in boosting Native American turnout, both on and off reservations, and helped to seal Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.This effort to supercharge the Native vote looks to be part of a larger left-wing political machine designed to skew elections to the left.

Filed under the category of "stopped clock," a recent New York Times article acknowledges that "independent" redistricting commissions often doesn’t work as intended to insulate redistricting from partisan politics. The Times is shocked, shocked that liberals' preferred solution to gerrymandering doesn't really work.

Newly obtained filings reveal a record-smashing $1.7 billion haul in 2020 for the activist network run by Arabella Advisors, the shadowy consulting firm behind what is arguably the world's most powerful and influential "dark money" empire. In a single year, the Arabella network more than doubled its revenues.

Mark Zuckerberg's financing of government election offices through the Center for Tech and Civic Life ([link removed] gives foreign actors a roadmap to influence U.S. elections. And Zuckerberg isn't the only billionaire influencer in the game. Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, for example, illegally gave thousands to political action committees many times over several years before the Federal Election Commission caught on. Parker Thayer looks at this vulnerability in U.S. elections here ([link removed]

What Is Ballot Harvesting?

What is ballot harvesting and how does it threaten democracy? Ballet harvesting--also known as ballot trafficking--can happen when ballots are mailed to every voter in a state regardless of whether they requested an absentee ballot. In many states it is legal for third-party organizations to collect ballots and return them. Regrettably, this practice can easily be abused.

Rigged: The Story of the 2020 Election
In this episode ([link removed] By now, the story is familiar. Mark Zuckerberg financed the administration of the 2020 elections through the Center for Tech and Civic Life ([link removed] Eric Holder and an army of Democratic lawyers ensured that liberals would compete on favorable district lines and with favorable voting rules, with no small help from a Philadelphia union boss and political fixer who was just convicted of fraud. And liberal "dark money" groups like Arabella Advisors' Sixteen Thirty Fund poured hundreds of millions of dollars from the most prominent liberal political donors—men like George Soros, Hansjörg Wyss, and Pierre Omidyar—directly into supporting Democratic campaigns. In all, it makes one wonder if the 2020 elections were in some way rigged.

Not coincidentally, Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections is the title of the book that our guest, Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist, has just released on the 2020 presidential election.
