Okay, this is the second post today that has “fraud” in its title…
The America Project, a national nonprofit that’s been focused on railing against the country’s voting system, spent $1.2 million funding lawyers and groups in Michigan during the 2022 election year, according to a recently filed tax document.
The Florida-based nonprofit co-founded by former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne reported it gave $429,875 to the law office of Oakland County attorney Stefanie Lambert for “legal support.” Lambert was charged with four felonies in August 2023 for allegedly participating in a scheme to improperly access voting machines used in the 2020 presidential election.
The America Project also said it provided $700,000 for a Waterford Township organization that’s connected to Lambert and called “United States Election Investigation and Lawsuits.” The money was for “election integrity,” [emphasis mine – r^2^ ] according to the nonprofit’s tax filing, which didn’t include additional details about the expenditure.
“Election integrity.” You have to laugh.
The tax document also showed how funds have been used to ensure conspiracy theories about voter fraud persist, said Chris Thomas, Michigan’s former longtime elections director. […] “Obviously, this is a glimpse into the post-2020 spending to keep their (election) deniers’ conspiracy alive," Thomas said.
