Expanding funds from the Center for Tech and Civic Life and other leftist groups to rural areas only expands election insecurity. //

Nonprofit election grants were so concerning in 2020 that 28 states enacted legislation limiting or banning the use of private funds to run elections, but even states that have banned private funds are not necessarily safe from undue influence from similar organizations. Rural and nonmetro areas in other states are certainly still vulnerable to other forms of nonprofit pressures and should still be alert to the Democrats’ overarching strategy to claw at rural, nonmetro areas that have traditionally run red.
