The Center for Election Integrity &#038; Research (CEIR) organized the event, which was called a \u201cSummit on American Democracy\u201d and was invite-only. Despite being live-streamed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russias-opposition-candidates-decry-govt-censorship\/\" title=\"Russia\u2019s opposition candidates decry govt censorship\">independent media outlets<\/a> were denied access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/election-group-with-ties-to-soros-zuckerberg-meets-in-washington-for-conference-closed-to-public\/\" title=\"Soros and Zuckerberg-linked Election Group Holds Closed Conference in Washington.\">high-ranking officials attending<\/a> the summit, including Secretaries of State and other election officials.<\/p>\n<h3>Partisan Allegations and Contested Claims<\/h3>\n<p>CEIR claims to be nonpartisan, but its founder, David Becker, has faced accusations of political bias against conservatives. During the summit, Becker dismissed concerns about election fraud and repeated contested claims about the security of the 2020 election. Journalist Laura Loomer, who challenged this narrative, was allegedly removed from the conference and the police were called on her.<\/p>\n<h3>Multimillion-Dollar Funding from Zuckerberg<\/h3>\n<p>In August 2020, CEIR received $69.5 million from Mark Zuckerberg under the guise of COVID-19 safety precautions. This funding was used to furnish the organization with equipment and pay for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mississippi-tightens-up-its-elections-with-ban-on-zuckbucks\/\" title=\"Mississippi Tightens Up Its Elections With Ban On Zuckbucks\">election-related expenses<\/a>. Critics argue that this funding raises questions about the group\u2019s impartiality.<\/p>\n<h3>Allegations of Political Bias Against Conservatives<\/h3>\n<p>Becker\u2019s track record is splotched with claims of political biases against conservatives. In 2005, while working in the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice, he was the subject of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-lawyer-says-manhattan-da-bragg-should-be-investigated-ethics-complaint-filed\/\" title=\"Trump Lawyer Says Manhattan DA Bragg Should Be Investigated, Ethics Complaint Filed\">formal ethics complaint<\/a> for making \u201cnasty, disparaging remarks about Republicans.\u201d Brad Schlozman, who directed the Civil Rights division at the time, suggested that Becker deserved to be disbarred. Becker has also portrayed Trump as a liar and a danger to democratic norms.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The closed nature of the \u201cSummit on American Democracy\u201d has raised concerns about the impartiality of CEIR and its ties to Soros and Zuckerberg. Critics argue that the group\u2019s funding and Becker\u2019s track record of political bias against conservatives undermine its claims of nonpartisanship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON\u2014An elections group with ties to Democrat mega-donor George Soros and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gathered in Washington on May 8 for a meeting that was closed to the public.
