..,.Look Ahead America was granted 501c3 status by the IRS in May '17. In Aug '20, LAA's tax exempt status was automatically revoked for not filing a 990 in '17, '18 & '19. Last month, Mr. Braynard assured me via tweet, they would be filed within a month....
...Look Ahead America is not a rinky dink, fly by night operation managed by novices to the world of not-for-profits & campaign finance. They are former Trump campaign staffers & Look Ahead America has rec'd millions in funding since its inception...
...On April 26, '21, Look Ahead America announced James "Jim" Lamon, @jim_lamon, an AZ entrepreneur & candidate for US Senate, donated $2m to LAA for a voter registration drive. Donating $2m to a not-for-profit w/o reviewing its finances or status seems careless at best...
...I'm trying very hard not to say what I think about Look Ahead America's board but it's not easy. Thomas Datwyler is the treasurer of 205 campaign committees per the FEC....
...Per Witold Chrabaszcz's LinkedIn profile, he's still working for the Trump Campaign....
...Ken Vogel covered Look Ahead America in an Aug 8 '17 profile which, at that point, had raised nearly $800k. Not exactly peanuts, is it?... nytimes.com/2017/08/16/us/…
...Taking a break but will return to this Nov 6 '20 ARS Technica story by @jbrodkin about Matt Braynard, Witold Chrabaszcz & the newly formed "Voter Integrity Fund"... arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
..The ARS Technica article linked to this Nov 13 '20 Philadelphia Inquirer story by @EllieRushing & @wbender99 about Matt Braynard & crew raising money for something called the Voter Integrity Fund... inquirer.com/politics/penns…
...I visited Give Send Go, the #1 free Christian crowdfunding site. Braynard's Voter Integrity Fund was created by External Affairs Inc. & raised $675k... givesendgo.com/VoterIntegrity
...Checked OpenCorporates for External Affairs, Inc. but I can't tell which one is registered to Matt Braynard but my guess is the Delaware registration. Page from External Affairs Inc website....
...Anyone have problem w Matt Braynard testifying as an expert witness in voter fraud cases when his 501c3, Look Ahead America, has accepted millions in donations since '17 but never filed a single 990? No doubt in my mind he's an expert in fraud... cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/…
...That link to Matt Braynard's "expert witness" testimony was from a GA voter fraud lawsuit. The McGiver Institute posted a link to Braynard's "expert witness" testimony in a Wisconsin voter fraud lawsuit... maciverinstitute.com/2020/12/presid…
...Braynard's firm, External Affairs Inc, raked in a total of $190k from the two lawsuits alone plus the $685k he raised on the Give Send Go website. We have no idea how much Look Ahead America took in during '20. We do know Jim Lamon donated $2m this year...
..And that's all I can take of Matt Braynard et al for now. More to come.

For those of you just tuning in, Moshe Lax was Ivanka's jewelry business partner for a decade & they remain close friends. Two years ago, the DOJ filed a civil complaint against Moshe for evading $62 million in taxes. I've chronicled Moshe's exploits for the last four years...

Senator Rick Scott's campaign against the Affordable Care Act in '09 via his Conservatives For Patients' Rights is a notorious case of not-for-profit abuse. First off, it was registered as a 501c3 when it was clearly a 501c4 but, hey, Rick wanted the tax deduction...
