End Zuckerbucks Act

Bill 118 hr 1725, also known as the End Zuckerbucks Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to prohibit private funding of election administration, commonly referred to as "Zuckerbucks" after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who donated millions of dollars to election efforts in 2020.

The bill aims to ensure that election administration is conducted in a fair and impartial manner, free from the influence of private donors. It seeks to prevent any individual or organization from providing financial support to election officials or agencies, in order to maintain the integrity and independence of the electoral process.

Supporters of the End Zuckerbucks Act argue that private funding of election administration can create conflicts of interest and undermine public trust in the electoral system. They believe that elections should be funded and overseen by government entities, rather than by wealthy individuals or corporations. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that private funding can help improve election infrastructure and increase voter turnout. They believe that restricting private donations could limit resources available for election administration and potentially disenfranchise certain groups of voters. Overall, the End Zuckerbucks Act is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the role of private funding in the electoral process. It remains to be seen how this bill will be received by Congress and whether it will ultimately become law.
