CTCL might try to hide its efforts and claim that the alliance also gives money to red counties. However, the likelihood is that more than twice as many or even triple the funds will be spent on Democratic-leaning county than Republican ones. <a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/article\/shining-a-light-on-zuck-bucks-in-key-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Similar to 2020<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Justin Roebuck is Ottawa County Clerk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearinvestigations.com\/articles\/2023\/01\/31\/big_philanthropy_advances_as_a_big_player_in_the_private_funding_of_public_elections_877615.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Submitted<\/a> RealClearInvestigations he will refuse the grant money offered to his county because of transparency concerns. Roebuck inquired about the criteria used to determine the amount of money each county would receive. The people running the program didn&#8217;t give an answer.<\/p>\n<p>RealClear spoke with Tim Tsujii who is the director of elections at the Forsyth County Board of Elections. He said that Forsyth won&#8217;t accept grant money as the county has sufficient funds to run its elections. Tsujii expressed concern about the possibility of members being required to pay a fee in order to be part of this alliance. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is all this talk about the money going to elections offices and the counties, but what about the money going from the counties to the alliance?\u201d Tsujii stated. <\/p>\n<p>Election offices must pay an annual fee of $1,600 to become a basic member or $4,800 to become a premium member.
