The NGO Project Part LII: CTCL in Alaska
North to the Future
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 LII 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, DE, GA, 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 WV, and WY.
This article will solely focus on CTCL in Alaska (AK).
Calculation Basis
The calculation basis was previously explained in detail here. In this article, I do make one adjustment and that is to calculate the 2020DIFF factor by weighted average rather than arithmetic average.
Analysis
This analysis is going to be short and sweet because only 50,000 was granted to the state as a whole.
The important item to note here is that the state did swing decidedly D in terms of the 2020DIFF which was 0.0968 or about 10%. At only $0.14/vote spent, CTCL seems to have not made much of an impact here.
