Zuckbucks Distributor Doesn’t Want You Paying Attention To Noncitizen Voting In November

David Becker is already trying to discredit concerns about noncitizen voting in an election that hasn’t even happened yet. Why?

David Becker, who funneled millions of “Zuckbucks” into the 2020 election, is super certain that former President Donald Trump will raise concerns about noncitizens voting in the 2024 election. And he’s even more certain he doesn’t want you paying attention when it happens. The left often tries to discredit inconvenient news before it happens, like intelligence agencies did in 2020 with the Hunter Biden laptop story. What stories might Becker be trying to get ahead of this time around?

“We can sit here absolutely positive that if Trump perceives that he is losing the election, he will claim victory on Nov. 5, sometime after the polls close, and he will cite noncitizen voting,” Becker said. “This was the intent of this all along.”

Becker is the founder and director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR), which funneled millions from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to promote Democrat-backed voting policies ahead of the 2020 election. He joined Claudia Ruiz, senior civil rights policy analyst for UnidosUS, in a webinar Friday called “Noncitizen Voting in American Elections.” The leftist National Task Force on Election Crises hosted the session, with staffer Emily Rodriguez moderating.

Becker claimed those with election integrity concerns about noncitizen voting — potentially a widespread issue entering November — are simply setting the stage for Trump to blame an election loss on noncitizens voting for Kamala Harris. 

“Remember that this was exactly what we knew was going to happen,” Becker said. “This was to set up this false claim that noncitizen voting — which happens so rarely that … even the states that are trying hard to find it can’t find it — that that’s one of the reasons that Trump lost. That will be false.”

Becker cited the ban on “systematic” voter roll maintenance 90 days ahead of elections, as required by the National Voting Rights Act of 1993. “They know they couldn’t clean the list if they had evidence, which they do not,” Becker said. “This is more being done to fuel claims that an election was stolen after the election was over.”

He dismissed the SAVE Act, which died in the U.S. House last week and would have required proof of citizenship to vote. Becker said it would have “no impact whatsoever” on the 2024 election, since it would only require identification to register to vote beginning in October. “This is not a serious policy prescription for a real problem,” Becker claimed.

But this raises the question: If noncitizen voting is as rare as Becker claims, why would he and leftist lawfare groups care whether election integrity advocates investigate?

A Well-Documented Problem

Becker dismissed the problem, claiming the law deters most noncitizens from voting. “Why would someone who had risked everything for themselves and their families, either coming through legally or coming through in an undocumented, illegal way — as many say — risk their presence in the United States, which they have risked everything for, for the right to cast one ballot in an election in which 160 million ballots are going to be cast?” he said. “It just doesn’t happen.”

But in Oregon, officials recently found Department of Motor Vehicles staff had registered hundreds of noncitizens to vote. A later audit showed staff members registered more than 1,200 possible noncitizens. There have been hundreds of instances of noncitizen voting across the country, but the leftist Department of Justice has only prosecuted 35 cases.

The Foundation for Government Accountability found this month there were 25 million noncitizens in the country, but “no federal enforcement mechanism” to keep them from registering to vote, as The Federalist previously reported. The report found that in 46 states welfare offices are offering voter registration forms without requiring proof of citizenship. It urged cleaning of voter rolls and passage of the SAVE Act.

The report also examined President Joe Biden’s “Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting” — or the “Bidenbucks” program, which mobilizes federal agencies to capture left-wing votes. This resembles the “Zuckbucks” program of 2020, when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg funneled millions through influencers like Becker to election offices in mostly Democrat areas. Both programs resemble a Democrat get-out-the-vote operation.

In states like Alabama and Mississippi, the secretaries of state found that the Biden-Harris administration has been using the program to register federal convicts to vote, despite prisons containing many noncitizens and state laws banning felons from voting. 

Again, this leads to the question: Why spend so much time and effort to stop scrutiny of noncitizen voting if it is a nonissue? 

Partisan Interests

Becker’s group CEIR shuttled close to $70 million from Zuckerberg to local election offices ahead of the 2020 election, influencing election administration. The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), the other “Zuckbucks” channel, funneled close to $350 million to election administrators for similar ends, according to InfluenceWatch. Between the two groups, the funding boosted Democrat turnout in the election.

Early in his career, Becker’s boss at the DOJ described him as a “hard-core leftist” who “couldn’t stand conservatives.” While working at the agency, Becker faced an ethics complaint that uncovered emails with “nasty, disparaging remarks about Republicans.” 

Becker founded the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) in 2012. ERIC is a multi-state online voter roll platform where states share election data, supposedly to remove dead and duplicate voters. But ERIC shares that data with CEIR so the groups can target individuals with registration efforts. 

Becker has since resigned his position on ERIC’s board after Republican states withdrew from the platform. He previously defended his record to The Federalist, citing “lifelong work in nonpartisan election policy.”

The National Task Force On Election Crises, which hosted this webinar, also has a strong leftist bent. It is a subsidiary of the Protect Democracy Project, an anti-Trump lawfare group, according to InfluenceWatch. As The Federalist previously reported, the group aims to control election discourse and seeks “accountability” for political rivals. While the task force claims its “mission transcends party and ideology,” it is composed of powerful left-wing figures, including many election influencers. 

One prominent member is James Baker, the ex-FBI counsel who helped push the Trump-Russia hoax and censor the Hunter Biden laptop story, as The Federalist previously reported. Another member of the task force is former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, a co-author of the Patriot Act, which allowed the government to spy on Americans without a warrant.

The group also includes notorious election influencers Tiana Epps-Johnson, founder and executive director of CTCL, and Amber McReynolds, former CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute (NVAHI), which accessed absentee ballots and worked to shift Michigan’s election policy.

The Federalist previously reported on a more complete list of those affiliated with the task force, whose members can also be found on its website
