A bevy\u200c of emails\u2062 obtained by \u2064The\u200c Federalist reveal how\u200d Coconino County officials have been violating the\u2063 spirit\u2062 of Arizona law by colluding with a coalition of left-wing nonprofits<\/a> tasked with influencing election operations\u2062 in \u2063key battleground states\u2064 ahead of the 2024 election. <\/p>\n

Last year, Coconino County \u2014 a Democrat stronghold<\/a> that delivered Joe Biden a\u200d margin of 17,646 votes in\u200c 2020, greater \u2064than the margin of votes by which Biden \u2063won the state \u2014 became\u200d one of several localities<\/a> to join the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence<\/a>.\u200b The\u200c Honest Elections Project describes<\/a> the \u201cAlliance\u201d as an $80 million venture<\/a> launched in 2022\u2062 by left-wing nonprofits\u00a0to \u201csystematically influence every aspect of\u200b election administration\u201d and advance Democrat-backed \u200cvoting policies in local\u200b election offices. \u200bSeveral of \u2063the organizations \u200d participating<\/a> \u200c in the project \u2063include the Center for Civic Design<\/a>, The Elections Group<\/a>, and\u200c the \u200b Center for\u200c Tech and \u2064Civic Life\u2062 (CTCL)<\/a>, the latter \u2064of which\u200d interfered in the 2020 election to the \u2062benefit of \u2063Democrats.\u200b <\/p>\n

During the\u200d 2020 contest, CTCL and the Center for \u2064Election Innovation and\u200d Research collectively received hundreds of millions of \u2062dollars<\/a> from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. These \u201c Zuckbucks<\/a>\u201d were poured into local\u2064 election offices in\u2063 battleground states around the country \u200bto change how elections\u200d were administered,\u2063 such as \u200cby\u2063 expanding unsupervised election protocols<\/a> like mail-in voting \u2064and the use of ballot drop boxes. To make\u200d matters worse, the grants were heavily skewed\u2062 towards Democrat-majority counties, essentially making\u200b it a\u200c massive Democrat get-out-the-vote operation.<\/p>\n

With Arizona<\/a> and 26 \u2063other states<\/a> \u200dhaving passed measures restricting\u200d the use of private money \u200cin elections\u200c in\u2064 the years\u2062 since, CTCL and other left-wing nonprofits devised \u200bthe Alliance as a way to\u2063 skirt these \u201cZuckbucks\u201d bans. In a \u2062 2023 report<\/a>,\u2063 the \u200bHonest Elections Project and John Locke Foundation revealed how the Alliance \u2064seeks \u2063to provide election offices \u200dwith \u201cscholarships\u201d to cover membership costs, which can then \u200dbe \u201cconverted\u200c into \u2018credits\u2019 that member offices can use to buy services from CTCL \u2064and other\u2062 Alliance partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obtained via open records request, the \u200ccommunications reviewed by The Federalist document the process by \u2062which\u200b Coconino County officials worked behind the scenes to make their county an Alliance member. The extensive coordination\u2062 between the county and coalition involves regular meetings on election administrative issues and\u2062 the crafting \u200cof\u200b election-related materials to distribute to voters \u2064ahead of Arizona\u2019s 2024 elections. <\/p>\n

Working Behind the Scenes to \u200bSkirt State Ban on Private Election Funding<\/h2>\n
While the U.S.\u200b Alliance for Election Excellence wasn\u2019t publicly launched<\/a> until April 11, 2022,\u200b Coconino County\u2019s\u200d connections with CTCL \u2014 an Alliance participant \u2014 date back\u200b to the\u2064 2020 election cycle. According to the Capital Research Center<\/a>, Arizona received $5.1\u2063 million from\u2064 CTCL\u200b ahead of the November 2020 \u200ccontest, with more than three-fourths of that money ($3.9 million) \u200bgoing towards four of five counties\u200b won by Joe Biden. Coconino County \u200c\u2014 which Biden\u2063 won by more than 24 points<\/a> \u2014 received the third largest grant per capita, behind Apache and Navajo Counties. \u200d <\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Coconino\u2019s established connection with \u200bCTCL made the Arizona locality a perfect target upon the Alliance\u2019s spring 2022 launch. While Coconino wasn\u2019t a part of the coalition\u2019s \u200c2022 inaugural cohort of participating election offices,\u200c county recorder Patty Hansen, \u2064a Democrat, sought to gain her\u2063 jurisdiction\u2064 access \u200bto\u2062 the \u200cAlliance \u200bin\u200b the \u2063weeks following its reveal to the \u2064public. <\/p>\n
On April 28, 2022,\u200d Hansen submitted an application on behalf of Coconino\u200b to \u2062join the Alliance, which asks applicants to disclose specific\u2063 information regarding their \u200belection administration. The questions included \u2063in the \u200capplication goad local election offices \u200binto revealing the size of their elections team, \u2062any \u201cimprovement\u201d the office \u200bwould\u2062 like to make \u2062ahead of \u2062future elections, and \u201c[h]ow much additional funding would\u2064 make a meaningful difference\u201d in altering \u200doffice \u200doperations, among other information.<\/p>\n
While Hansen received an automated email nearly\u200b a month later from CTCL confirming Coconino\u2019s\u200d application had \u200cbeen received, Hansen didn\u2019t appear to get a response from \u2064CTCL Associate Director Sophie Lehman until Nov. 22, 2022. In her email, Lehman notified Hansen that the\u2062 Alliance had received Coconino\u2019s application \u200band expressed the \u200bcoalition\u2019s continued interest in making Coconino an Alliance member. Lehman further informed Hansen that she would receive an Alliance membership \u2062agreement \u2063after Thanksgiving and that CTCL was \u201cmeeting\u2062 with Alliance partners and\u2063 our expert legal team to \u2064design a membership structure so jurisdictions from across \u200cthe country can participate \u200bin the program.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be\u2064 clear, this is a pivot from our original\u200c vision that would have offered Alliance programming for\u200d free,\u201d Lehman wrote.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Honest \u200bElections Project Executive Director Jason\u2064 Snead previously told<\/a> The Federalist that CTCL shifted its \u201coriginal model to a \u2062fee-based membership model\u201d as a way \u200cof skirting existing \u201cZuckbucks\u201d bans. \u201cFor jurisdictions that are\u2063 permitted to receive grants, those fees\u2062 are effectively waived. But \u200cjurisdictions that cannot receive private\u2064 grants\u200d can\u200c still buy their way \u200din for a relatively small sum, \u200ballowing the \u2063Alliance to spread its influence \u2063even in states where lawmakers have \u2062tried to prevent it,\u201d Snead\u200b explained.<\/p>\n
On Dec. 13, 2022, Lehman \u200binformed Hansen\u2064 that Coconino County had been\u200b designated\u200b as \u201ca finalist in the inaugural cohort of Centers for Election Excellence\u201d and \u2064provided \u200ba list of\u2063 \u201cnext\u200d steps\u201d for the county to take\u2062 to become an\u200b Alliance member. According to \u2063the Alliance membership agreement, counties are given\u2063 the option of joining the coalition\u200c as a basic\u200b or premium member,\u200b costing\u2063 $1,600 or\u200c $4,800 a year, respectively. \u2062 <\/p>\n
A basic membership grants participating counties access \u200bto \u201ca \u2062selection of off-the-shelf, publicly-accessible election administration resources<\/a>, document templates, \u2063and\u200d training \u200cmaterials,\u201d and \u201ccenter-specific coaching and consulting from select Alliance partners, in the form of\u200d a $800 credit towards the fair market value of Alliance partners\u2019\u2062 hourly \u200cconsulting services,\u201d among other services. Premium members are\u200b offered similar services, but \u2064are granted $3,040 in credit and \u201cadditional multi-center group coaching and consulting \u2063sessions hosted by select Alliance partners on \u200ban\u200c hourly\u200d basis.\u201d \u200b <\/p>\n
Hansen notified Lehman on Jan. 3, 2023, that Coconino County would be subscribing to the Alliance as a\u200d basic member and\u2063 disclosed that she had\u200c discussed the legality of\u200b the county\u200c joining the \u200bcoalition with \u201cour\u2063 civil \u200ddivision\u2019s chief deputy county attorney,\u201d who purportedly believed that Coconino joining the Alliance did not \u2062\u201cviolate[] any state laws.\u201d Lehman replied two \u200bdays later congratulating Hansen\u200b on Coconino becoming\u200c an official member of the Alliance. <\/p>\n
Hansen did not respond to The \u2062Federalist\u2019s request for comment on whether taxpayer money was used \u2064to pay for Coconino County\u2019s Alliance membership fee. <\/p>\n
County Officials Briefed on Left-Wing Partners\u2019 \u2018Vision\u2063 and Goals\u2019<\/h2>\n
With Coconino County\u2019s 2023 membership secured, the\u200c Alliance\u200c wasted no time in bringing the Arizona locality into the fold of its operations. On Jan. 4, 2023, \u2062Lehman offered \u200dHansen the opportunity to \u2062participate in a panel discussion on \u201celection funding\u201d at the Alliance\u2019s \u201cDebrief\u201d event in Chicago the following month. As The Federalist previously reported<\/a>, \u201cThe Debrief\u201d was a three-day \u201cinaugural\u201d event designed \u201cfor\u200d election officials and election experts to come together to distill key\u200c lessons learned from\u200c the 2022 election cycle and to plan for the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Hansen initially expressed interest in participating \u200din\u200c the panel, she ultimately backed out of attending the event in\u2064 person due to\u200b her partner\u2019s medical issues. Additional communications indicate \u2063Hansen and her \u201cteam\u201d attended the event\u200b virtually.<\/p>\n
But \u201cThe Debrief\u201d was just one of \u2062many Alliance-sponsored meetings Coconino \u200belection officials\u200d participated in throughout 2023. Shortly after joining the coalition, \u200dHansen and\u2062 her \u200dteam were invited to and took part \u200din \u200ca\u200d virtual \u201cCenters \u200dfor \u200bElection\u2064 Excellence kickoff call\u201d\u2064 on Jan. 25, in which participants would \u201chear about the Alliance vision \u2064and \u2062goals,\u201d meet other election offices \u201cwho have committed\u201d to the Alliance, and meet the Alliance\u2019s participating organizations.<\/p>\n
Hansen and her colleagues were also invited in \u2063April 2023 to attend an in-person Alliance \u201ccohort convening\u201d\u2062 in Las Vegas \u200bfrom May \u206422-24.\u200d Communication records confirm Ray Daw, Coconino County\u2019s Native American elections outreach coordinator, represented\u2062 the locality\u2019s \u200belections team in Las Vegas. Hansen and at least two colleagues opted to attend the event virtually. <\/p>\n
Lehman would continue to email \u200dHansen\u2063 throughout summer\u200b 2023, inviting the Coconino recorder \u200cand her team to various meetings hosted by Alliance partners. These events included an Aug. 14 Zoom conference hosted by\u2064 the Elections Group on \u201celection cybersecurity\u201d and several virtual \u201cmonthly cohort call[s]\u201d launched on Aug.\u200d 23. Emails also \u2062confirm\u2062 Hansen attended \u200bthe Alliance\u2019s in-person \u201ccohort\u200c convening\u201d\u200d in Chicago \u200dfrom Nov. \u206329-Dec.\u200b 1. <\/p>\n
Hansen did not respond to \u200cThe Federalist\u2019s request for comment on whether taxpayer \u2062money\u200c was used to pay for her and Daw\u2019s respective travel-related\u2063 expenses to Alliance events.<\/p>\n
Coconino County Divulged Election Administration Data to Alliance<\/h2>\n
While Coconino\u2063 County\u200c officials\u2019 meetings with Alliance partners and\u200b fellow members were a major facet of the election office-coalition\u2062 relationship, the Arizona county\u2019s willful\u2064 exchange of sensitive information and\u200c collusion with\u200c the\u200d Alliance on election-related matters remains equally concerning. <\/p>\n
In addition to\u2064 its invasive application questions, the Alliance requested Hansen disclose \u200dinformation regarding \u2063Coconino County\u2019s election office\u200d practices. On March\u2064 8,\u200b 2023, for example, Lehman emailed \u2064Hansen several surveys\u200b that,\u200d once completed, would provide the Alliance with a \u201csnapshot of [Coconino\u2019s election] office\u2019s current practices around poll workers, and which practices [Hansen is] most interested \u2062in improving.\u201d Lehman further noted that the Alliance would like to \u200d\u201cconduct \u2064an hour-long\u200d interview\u201d with Hansen\u2019s office to learn more about Coconino County\u2019s poll worker program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe\u200c surveys and interviews will help the Alliance as a whole decide which resources to prioritize building and what kind of support\u200c to provide,\u201d Lehman claimed. While \u2063Lehman noted that \u200bthe aforementioned survey questions were \u201coptional,\u201d\u2063 a follow-up \u200demail sent \u200bto Hansen in April indicated Hansen\u2062 completed the\u200b surveys.<\/p>\n
County Recorder Pushed Biden Agenda at\u2062 Alliance\u2019s Request<\/h2>\n
The\u2063 Coconino-Alliance relationship was also \u2063very collaborative when it came to pushing \u200dleftist causes. On March 9, 2023, \u200bHansen received an \u200cautomated\u2064 email from CTCL asking recipients to encourage their congressional representatives \u2062to support a provision in President Joe Biden\u2019s\u2064 2024 fiscal year budget that\u2062 included \u201c$5 billion\u200d over \u206210 years for state and local election departments.\u201d \u2064In an email sent to a CTCL representative the following day,\u2062 Hansen expressed her\u200c desire to \u201coffer\u200d my assistance \u2064with\u2062 contacting my representatives to urge them to support\u201d including the \u200cprovision in the 2024 budget.\u2064 In her email, Hansen predicted that her congressman, GOP Rep. Eli Crane, would not support the initiative, noting Crane\u2019s role as a member of \u200bthe House Freedom Caucus and referring to the Arizona Republican as a so-called \u200d\u201c election\u200b denier<\/a>.\u201d\u2062 <\/p>\n
Hansen further noted that \u200cshe would\u200c \u201cbe happy\u201d to reach\u200d out to several Democrat members of \u200cArizona\u2019s congressional delegation,\u200b including\u200c Rep. Ruben Gallego and\u2062 Sen. Mark Kelly, to push the \u200dinitiative forward. A March 27 email\u2062 from CTCL\u2019s Sofia Martinez indicates Hansen submitted funding \u200drequests to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, \u2063an independent who caucuses with Senate \u2062Democrats, and Kelly. \u2062 <\/p>\n
Alliance \u200bPartners Helped Design Voter Guide<\/h2>\n
But Coconino \u200band\u2063 the Alliance\u2019s collusive efforts didn\u2019t stop\u200d there. Roughly a \u2062month after the\u2062 Alliance\u2019s February 2023 \u2063\u201cDebrief\u201d event, Hansen emailed\u200c Lehman requesting the Center for Civic \u200dDesign\u2019s (CCD) assistance in creating a new version\u2064 of Coconino\u200d County\u2019s 2024 Voter Guide. Hansen included \u201ca couple of\u200c these\u200d mailings\u201d her office used leading up to prior\u200b elections \u2062and\u2062 noted how the county sends 90-day notice mailings \u201cto all of the registered \u2062voters in\u200d the county every \u200ctwo years\u201d to\u200c verify the accuracy\u200b of its voter \u2064rolls.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn\u2062 2016 we decided to do \u200da\u2062 Voter Guide \u2064for the upcoming state elections. It\u2019s been very well \u2062received by the voters, but I \u2062think \u200bwe can improve it,\u201d Hansen wrote. \u201cArizona also\u200c has a complicated \u2064system for our Active (used to be\u2064 called Permanent) Early Voting list mailing. We\u2019d like to see if [CCD] \u200ccan help\u2062 us\u200b develop a\u200b less legalize mailing to our voters that explains the process.\u201d \u200c <\/p>\n
Donna \u200bCasner, Coconino County\u2019s chief deputy \u200drecorder,\u2063 later \u200csent Hansen templates of\u2062 the county\u2019s 2022 \u206290-day\u200c notice \u2062on March \u206228, 2023, which Hansen then forwarded to Lehman the same day.<\/p>\n
Coconino\u2019s collaboration with\u200b the Alliance on these \u200cnew election materials\u2064 continued into\u2063 the fall, at\u200b which point Lehman connected Hansen\u200b with CCD\u2019s Tasmin \u2064Swanson. After a series of emails, \u200cthe two women scheduled a \u2063Zoom meeting for\u2062 Oct. 18, \u200bwhich\u200d Hansen indicated would be \u200dattended by herself, Casner, and their colleague, Sedona Stone.\u2064 Less than a\u2064 week later, Casner \u2062emailed Swanson three \u201cvariations\u201d of Coconino\u2019s 2022 90-day notice \u2063templates \u201cincluding variable data fields, along with an excerpt from [the office\u2019s] procedures\u2062 manual that\u200d outlines the mandatory requirements for the\u200c notice.\u201d <\/p>\n
Collaboration between Coconino County election officials and CCD continued \u200cinto November, at which point CCD\u2019s Randy Hadzor was brought\u2063 into the mix to assist the \u200dArizona locality on redesigning its 90-day notice. In her Nov. 2 email providing Hansen and Casner \u200cwith CCD\u2019s proposal \u2063for the redesign, Swanson noted that the project would likely use up the remaining credit \u200dCoconino County\u2064 received upon subscribing to the Alliance. <\/strong>A Dec. 8 email from Hadzor to Casner\u2063 indicated\u200b the new redesign was \u201ccoming along nicely,\u201d with Hadzor expressing \u2063hope that \u2062he would \u200d\u201cbe able to send over some preliminary concepts \u2062for your review soon.\u201d <\/p>\n
The\u200b Road Ahead<\/h2>\nThe Alliance\u2019s efforts to influence and acquire \u200dinformation about local\u200d election operations is hardly exclusive to Coconino County. Localities in \u200bbattleground \u2063states \u200bthroughout the country, such as\u2063 Georgia\u2019s DeKalb County<\/a>, for example, \u200bhave become \u2063targets of the Alliance\u2019s scheme \u2064to\u200d replicate CTCL\u2019s 2020 election \u200bshenanigans.\u2064 Rather \u200cthan allow \u200cstates and localities to manage their elections, as the Constitution prescribes, leftist groups such \u200bas those comprising the Alliance are intent on dipping their hands into the electoral process to steer elections in Democrats\u2019 favor. <\/p>\n

While\u2064 speaking with The Federalist, Republican National Committee spokesman Gates McGavick\u2062 referred \u200bto the Alliance as \u2063a \u201ctrojan horse for far-left dark money \u2062to influence elections,\u201d and called on Coconino County to be\u2062 transparent\u2064 about \u200cits active\u2062 relationship with the coalition. <\/p>\n
\u201cArizona has a ban on third-party \u2018Zuckbucks\u2019 to prevent groups just like the \u200d [Alliance] from unduly \u200dinfluencing \u200clocal election administration,\u201d McGavick said. \u201cSunlight \u200dis the best disinfectant, and Coconino County should answer for its collaboration with [the Alliance].\u201d<\/p>\n
Communication records \u200dshow that the \u200dAlliance has since offered Coconino County the\u2064 opportunity to remain an Alliance member \u2062throughout 2024. <\/p>\n
Hansen did not respond to \u2062The Federalist\u2019s \u200drequest for comment on whether, as of Monday, Coconino County completed and submitted the 2024 Alliance membership agreement \u2062or intends to do\u200b so.<\/p>\n

Title: Coconino\u200b County Officials Collaborate with Left-Wing Nonprofits to Influence Election Operations<\/p>\n
Introduction:<\/p>\n
A series of emails obtained by The Federalist has shed light on the \u2062violation of Arizona law by \u2062Coconino\u200d County\u2062 officials. These emails reveal a collusion\u2062 between the county and \u200ba coalition of left-wing nonprofits known as the U.S.\u200b Alliance for Election\u2063 Excellence.\u2062 The\u2064 purpose \u2062of this collaboration is to influence \u200celection operations in key battleground states\u200b ahead of \u2062the 2024 election.<\/p>\n
Background:<\/p>\n
Coconino County, a\u2063 Democrat stronghold, played a\u200b significant role in delivering a margin of 17,646 votes to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. It became one of several \u2063localities to join\u2062 the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence in\u2063 2020. \u2062This\u200d Alliance, launched by \u2063left-wing nonprofits, aims \u2064to\u2062 exert influence over\u200c election administration and advance Democrat-backed voting policies.<\/p>\n
Influence \u2062of Dark Money:<\/p>\n
During \u200bthe 2020 election cycle, the Center\u2063 for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election\u200d Innovation and Research received significant funding from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. These \u2062funds, known as “Zuckbucks,” were poured into battleground states to change election administration practices, including \u200dthe\u2064 expansion of mail-in \u200cvoting. Coconino County was among the recipients \u200bof\u2064 these funds, further highlighting \u200cits relevance in the Alliance’s plans.<\/p>\n
Skirting Private Election Funding Bans:<\/p>\n
In response to states passing measures restricting \u200dthe \u200cuse of private money in elections,\u200d CTCL and other left-wing nonprofits devised the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence. This coalition offers election offices “scholarships” that can be converted into credits used to buy services from \u200dAlliance partners. By offering these scholarships, the Alliance aims to bypass bans on\u200b private funding, ensuring its continued influence.<\/p>\n
Coconino\u200d County’s Membership Process:<\/p>\n
Coconino\u200b County’s connection with CTCL predates \u200dthe formation of the Alliance.\u200c County\u2064 recorder Patty Hansen applied on behalf of the county to join the Alliance in \u2063April 2022, shortly after its public launch. After \u200bseveral exchanges, Coconino County was designated\u2064 as a finalist and eventually became an official\u2064 member in January 2023, paying an annual\u200c fee for membership.<\/p>\n
Briefings and Collaborations:<\/p>\n
Coconino\u200b County \u2063officials actively participated \u200cin Alliance-sponsored meetings and events\u2062 throughout 2023. They attended panel discussions, kickoff calls,\u200b and cohort convenings, both\u200c virtually and in-person. These interactions allowed for extensive collaboration on various election-related matters, including the design of \u200bvoter guides and the\u2064 exchange of sensitive election administration data.<\/p>\n
Pushing the\u2064 Biden\u2062 Agenda:<\/p>\n
Emails\u200b indicate\u200c that Coconino County officials \u200bactively \u200dsupported President Joe Biden’s \u200cagenda at\u2063 the \u200bAlliance’s\u2064 request. They were\u2062 encouraged to contact their congressional representatives to advocate \u2064for provisions in Biden’s 2024 fiscal year budget that allocated funds for state and\u200b local election departments.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/p>\n
The collaboration \u200bbetween Coconino County officials and the U.S. \u200dAlliance for Election Excellence raises \u2064significant concerns about the transparency\u2062 and legality of\u2063 election operations. \u2064The violation of Arizona law and the extensive influence \u2063exerted\u2063 by left-wing nonprofits demonstrate the need\u200c for\u2063 transparency and accountability in \u2062election administration. As the\u2063 2024 elections approach, it \u200dbecomes crucial to ensure\u2063 that election\u200b processes are fair, impartial, and \u2064free from external interference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
