They not only helped pay for the election, they helped pay for election fraud that put an idiot in the White House!!!! Why else would Zuckerberg give so much money if not to pay people to commit fraud!?

It just doesn't stop...who is holding these people accountable? Somebody better sue or do something

Please cover more regarding voting rights. This is important.

So if Trump had publicly donated $10 billion of his own money and then won the election the left wouldn't be sitting here trying to reverse the election? We already saw what Hillary did

Wait, I thought billionaires buying our elections was bad? BlueAnon

'The bill's supporters in Arizona can't point to an instance when the grants were spent in a partisan manner' Ya know, it's kind of important to get that out front, more so then Zucky-zuck's name. Besides, with the damage he's done to our democracy, he owes way more

AZ GOPQ bites the hand that fed them. The GOP has never been a big fan of democracy, but the GOPQ wants to destroy it.

Republicans demand inefficiency.

Good, do publicly funded elections. But that will be socialism right? Or was it communism? I am not sure anymore.

This sets a very dangerous precedent! NOT a good thing and everyone knows this! No explanation s/b necessary...

Not surprising considering all the bills they’ve been introducing that will prevent making voting accessible to all

Facebook is a Teenagers App and Only Teenagers should be on this App because of Predators of the World

These 2 are Immigrants and should be Labeled as Such just like they want to Label others

Philanthropy is not a substitute for taxation. Tax the rich!

I thought they like the SCOTUS decision of free speech? Ohh only when they donate to them..then it’s freedom of speech.

Eminently reasonable.

How the GOP can engage in so many overt voter suppression measures and still retain more than 25% support in this country is beyond me.

yikes

There is little to say other than that Arizona Republicans have shown themselves to be political thugs. No amount of political corruptions is beyond them.

I'm sure the election officials did not have enough money to run an open and honest election without private donations. Low income areas never have enough polling locations.

The Republicans have dark money why can't we have clean money?

Don't let them do this.

Republicans love to rig the game in their own favor today and always.

Anything to keep people of color from voting, or at least making it very difficult.
