The couple donated $300 million toward voting infrastructure last month.

that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, would donate $100 million to go toward improving the safety and efficiency of voting sites throughout the U.S. after giving an initial $300 million last month, all while Facebook continues to be accused of enabling the spread of misinformation on the social media platform....

Zuckerberg said he and Chan’s donation in September was “to support election officials with the infrastructure they need to administer the vote.” That includes funds to purchase voting equipment, personal protective gear for poll workers and money to hire additional workers to run voting sites. According to Zuckerberg, after their first donation they saw “a far greater response than we expected from election officials needing funding for voting infrastructure,” so he and Chan decided to give an additional $100 million to the CTCL.

While he says lawsuits have been filed to block jurisdictions from using the money from the center based on allegations of bipartisanship, Zuckerberg denied the claims, writing that the “funds will serve communities throughout the country–urban, rural and suburban–and are being allocated by non-partisan organizations.”“Voting is the foundation of democracy. It's how we express our voice and make sure our country is heading in the direction we want, Zuckerberg wrote Tuesday.

A ruthless tech entrepreneur who’s platform is notorious for censorship “donates” to support election efforts. Lol... Classic story of a billionaire elitist using philanthropy to attempt to hijack a system.

He puts his money where his mouth is, in the gutter.
