Introduction
Question: Is CTCL misrepresenting the information on the IRS Form 990 stating that the PURPOSE of the grants were to help support the SAFE administration of public elections during the Covid-19 pandemic?
Background
This is Part L in The NGO Project series which examines the role NGOs had in determinative outcomes in the 2020 Presidential Election. In prior articles, I focused on the effect the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) had on AL, AR, AZ, CO, CT, GA, HI, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NH, NJ, NE, NM, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WI and WY.
This article will solely focus on West Virginia (WV) where CTCL did not provide grants.
Is it merely a coincidence that this heavy R state did not receive any grants?
The 2016DIFF was 0.318 (not weighted) and the 2020DIFF was 0.344 (not weighted). This is a calculation of the D/R ratio of cast votes in each year.
A state that was very heavy R went 3% more D (0.344-0.318) in 2020. Trump still won WV by 309,398 votes.
The only analysis I can offer is that WV is such a heavy R state that CTCL did not provide any resources here conceding the state.
