🔥🔥🔥Breaking new 2020 election scandal! Soros ran a $500 million organized plan called “Partnership for Safe Voting”, to ADMINISTER the 2020 election to benefit Democrats!
This included utilizing the Brennan Center to litigate. We are talking drop boxes, ballot deadlines, fighting fraud allegations, ballot curing, etc… And the Brennan Center was even involved in audits! They did this as a member of the Soros Neo Philanthropies State infrastructure funds, Voting Rights Working Group.
Laleh Ispahani as Co-Director of Open Society-U.S. created the “Partnership for Safe Voting”. This ran under Neo Philanthropies State Infrastructure Fund plus other orgs. She was promoted to executive director of OSF after this.
“Last year, she ( Laleh Ispahani ) created and co-chaired the Partnership for Safe Voting, a large philanthropic partnership to protect voting in the face of the pandemic, voter suppression, and disinformation which raised over $500 million for front-line organizations.”
Joe Goldman, President of the Omidyar Democracy Fund, and a member org of Soros Democracy Alliance also co-chaired the Partnership For Safe Voting.
“Our grantees provided crucial technical assistance and education to local election administrators adopting mail-in voting, implemented health protocols at polling centers, and recruited thousands of much-needed poll workers.”
Multiple pieces of software created to protect the 2020 election were created by the Trump resistance. The same people that colluded under Soros master plan.
Protect Democracy ran the Transition Integrity Project that was mentioned in the Times fortification article. They ran both Voteshield and Ballotshield in 2020. Lisa Monaco was involved in Voteshield too!
Rabed-v and the misinformation reporting portal were funded by the Joe Goldmans Democracy fund.
Joe Goldman, the co-chair of the Partnership For Safe Voting, admitted that they were partisan hacks even tho running 501 c3 charities to do this! All of this election collusion stuff they did was to benefit the Democrats!
“we are anchored in our values, not this sense that the ultimate goal is actually some kind of bipartisan stance.”
“And worries about entire sets
of nonprofits having their 501c3 status revoked, which I'm sure you'll remember there was a period in April where everybody said that's coming and then it didn't come.”
“They can come after my
501c3 status. They can target my staff or myself. But I am far more protected than those on the front line.” (Protected? How?)
Obviously they got more money than they intended. Here’s the Democracy Funders Network (DFN) call for funding. DFN is ran by Rachel Pritzker and Mike Berkowicz. DFN also put a call in for funding the TRANSITION INTEGRITY PROJECT ran by Protect Democracy and mentioned in The Times election fortification article:
(And trust me, there’s going to be more later on DFN .)
“Attend this funder briefing with Joe Goldman of the Democracy Fund, Laleh Ispahani of the Open Society Foundation, and Scott Moyer of the Langeloth Foundation to learn about the Partnership for Safe Voting 2020, an ambitious initiative being launched by several philanthropic partners in an effort to raise and align $168 million in c3 and c4 resources to ensure the elections are safe, accessible, and secure.”
According to Mike Berkowicz, who was co-founder of DFN with Rachel Pritzker, the 2020 election was all about philanthropy:
Mike Berkowitz: philanthropy wound up having to play a role in election administration itself for the first time in history
Robert Wiblin: Just to be clear, you’re saying philanthropists were funding the operation of the election, like the existence of polling places and things. I saw that and I couldn’t believe it.
Mike Berkowitz: For instance, there was an actually not great Time magazine piece by Molly Ball on this a few weeks ago that talked about it in really conspiratorial terms.

Here’s Soros Open Society mentioning Laleh Ispahani’s promotion after creating the successful Partnership for Safe Voting for the 2020 election.
Open Society Names Laleh Ispahani as Co-Director of Open Society-U.S.
“Last year, in the face of the pandemic, voter suppression, and disinformation, Ispahani created and co-chaired the Partnership for Safe Voting, the largest philanthropic partnership in American history to protect voting rights. The Partnership’s efforts helped to ensure safe, secure, and fair elections in the U.S. in 2020 despite the enormous challenges.”

This Democracy Funders Network, call for funding of the Partnership For Safe Voting, mentioned three people. Was Scott Moyer a third co-chair for the Partnership For Safe Voting? Because the other two certainly are. 🤷♀️
“COVID-19 has taken the urgency of efforts to protect our elections to a whole new level. Wisconsin and Georgia illustrated the chaos that can ensue for an election amid a pandemic. States and localities are sprinting to implement new voting procedures and rules, and the Iowa caucus debacle reminded us that accelerated implementations of changes can be risky. The necessary but dangerous rush towards implementation of safe voting comes against a backdrop of massive budget shortfalls for states and municipalities, as well as ongoing threats of disinformation threats and voter suppression.
Attend this funder briefing with Joe Goldman of the Democracy Fund, Laleh Ispahani of the Open Society Foundations, and Scott Moyer of the Langeloth Foundation to learn about the Partnership for Safe Voting 2020, an ambitious initiative being launched by several philanthropic partners in an effort to raise and align $168 million in c3 and c4 resources to ensure the elections are safe, accessible, and secure. What are the objectives of the Partnership? How can it advance quick and strategic change at scale? How can you get involved? “

‼️Here’s Democracy Funder Networks (DFN) call for funding the Transition Integrity Project and the Fight Back Table both mentioned in the Times Fortifying the election article.
As I have already proven, Protect Democracy ran the Transition Integrity Project. I’ll show this at the end.
Another note, the Brennan Center ran a similar project in 2024. I’ll also show this at the end. Plus more.
“Tuesday, August 25 from 12-1pm ET / 9-10am PT
Join DFN donors to discuss the potential and importance of planning for various election-related crises, and to highlight specific actions donors can take to prevent and/or respond to crises. We'll be hearing from Zoe Hudson of the Transition Integrity Project, Angela Peoples of Fight Back Table, Peter Colavito of Social & Economic Justice Leaders Project, and Jenny Flanagan of the Trusted Elections Fund on their efforts to identify, prepare for, and respond to threats to the integrity of the election results or potential abuse of power during a transition.”

Soros Democracy Alliance, Neo Philanthropies - State Infrastructure Fund, is one of the orgs that ran the Partnership For Safe Elections. The State Infrastructure Fund has a multi state alliance each with multiple orgs.
♦️“The State Infrastructure Fund (SIF), established in 2010, is a project of NEO Philanthropy.”
“SIF is a member of the Partnership for Safe Voting 2020 (PSV). PSV is a collaboration of pooled funds intended to scale needed community resources and reduce inefficiencies and duplication across existing democracy funds and strategies.”

💥 Boom! Election disinformation and security was funded by a co-chair of the now famous Soros Open Society, “Partnership For Safe Voting.
The EIP disinformation portal & the CIS Pilot Project RABET-V, that Tests Security of Election Technology, are all funded by Omidyar’s Democracy Fund. (A Soros Democracy Alliance member.) 👇🏻

🚨🚨🚨This should probably be pinned on my page forever!
Protect Democracy, funded by a co-chair of Soros Partnership For Safe Voting had access to our registration and ballot systems!
“VoteShield, a project of Protect Democracy, is a software platform designed to protect the integrity of U.S. elections by placing a virtual security camera on voter registration databases”
“BallotShield, a software product that tracks changes to absentee ballot requests, submissions, and curing rates in order to ensure timely processing of voter requests.”
This is definitely not cool!

🫣More orgs get implicated here.
The Brennan Center is a Soros Democracy Alliance member org. And also a member of the Trump resistance. Both of these are in my previous work.
But I wanted to link the Brennan Center specifically to the Soros “Partnership For Safe Elections”. The Brennan Center is in Neo Philanthropies State Infrastructure Funds Voting Rights Working Group. As I’ll prove with two links. Plus I want to implicate even more!
♦️1. “Meanwhile, SIF’s (State Infrastructure Fund) Voting Rights Working Group coordinates the efforts of legal organizations engaged in actions on behalf of communities across the country.”
(The State Infrastructure Fund is ran by Neo Philanthropies. A primary conduit of Soros Partnership For Safe Elections. As proven up in my thread already.)

- ADL
- Demos
- Lawyers commitee for civil rights

Issues litigated by the Voting Rights Working Group related to the 2020 elections include:
• Deadlines for voter registration and vote-by-mail
•Early voting processes and procedures
•Vote-by-mail and absentee ballot procedures
• Witness requirements to vote by mail/for absentee ballots
• Lack of notice and opportunity to cure absentee ballot rejections

Now that we know the President of Democracy Fund, Joe Goldman, was a co-chair of Soros “Partnership For Safe Voting”, even more will fall into place.
In the meanwhile, here’s where he mentioned worry of the IRS removing 501 (c3) status from his involved PARTISAN orgs. Love the podcasts name too. 😉
Essentially a dude who wants to destroy Trump, as a supposed authoritarian, helped takeover the 2020 election.
Giving Done Right, Season 5, Episode 6 – An Anti-
Authoritarian Playbook for Donors With Joe Goldman:
“Joe Goldman: So when I – in March of 2024, I had a conversation with a few of my board members, just kind of thinking about what does the world look like in which Donald Trump is re-elected, and some of our worst concerns about a kind of authoritarian agenda actually are realized.”
Admits to being partisan:
“Joe Goldman: Yeah, look, I mean, for a long time, the Democracy Fund, you may recall, like, was a bipartisan organization. The guy who ran my elections and voting program had previously worked for Chuck Schumer, and the woman who ran my program on Congress had been a Republican Chief of Staff in the House for, for two decades. And it wasn't UNTIL, I don't know, 2019-ish, 2018-ish that we made a PIVOT and said like, look, we'll work with anyone, but we are anchored in our values, not this sense that the ultimate goal is actually some kind of bipartisan stance.”
501 (c3) worries:
“Phil Buchanan: The sector defense work was focused on some very specific threats,
some of which have actually not really come to pass, right? And worries about entire sets
of nonprofits having their 501c3 status revoked, which I'm sure you'll remember there was a period in April where everybody said that's coming and then it didn't come.”
“Joe Goldman: But it, but that's not, that didn't just not happen, that happened because
people worked very hard to prevent it from happening, but yeah.
Phil Buchanan: Yeah, no, absolutely. But I guess the question is, I think my fear, and
maybe I'm worrying over nothing, is that that is really important – that was important work – but that there are these larger, even more sort of existential threats, and that that work needs to continue, but also there needs to be this sort of cross-sectoral alliances that you're describing.”
Snip
“Joe Goldman: And if that feels exhausting, just imagine what it feels like for our grantees who are out there on the front lines feeling scared – Like, and if you are scared to do that work
because you're scared of being attacked, just imagine what these grantees on the front
lines feel like in this environment. It is hard leading a nonprofit in the best of
circumstances, but when you are taking the risk that you and your family and your staff are
going to be targeted by name, and swarmed on social media, or targeted by regulators in
the IRS or the Department of Justice, or – that is a remarkably vulnerable position to be in.
And we need to find ways, as donors, to use the privilege that we have in being a step
removed from those threats. We are not invulnerable from attack. They can come after my
501c3 status. They can target my staff or myself. But I am far more protected than those
on the front lines, and we need to find some courage, and we need to be okay with solutions that are not perfect and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good here.”

This offers a breathtaking look inside Democrat philanthropy operations.
Interview: Mike Berkowitz of Democracy Funders Network on keeping the US a liberal democratic country
♦️How DFN started:
“Mike Berkowitz: The Democracy Funders Network (DFN) actually grew out of Patriots & Pragmatists, which preceded it in early 2017.“
Mike Berkowitz: The core insight there was that because of the polarization in our politics that had really accelerated over the Obama years
(Mike worked Kerry’s campaign and was a consultant to a group called the Soros Democracy Alliance )
♦️On Protect Democracy
“Mike Berkowitz: One other that I’ll raise right now is a group called Protect Democracy, which was created in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election with a realization that there are a set of challenges to a liberal democracy that we are going to be facing in this country. And we want to try to prevent it from becoming a more authoritarian or autocratic form of government. It was started by a number of lawyers from the Obama administration.”
“Mike Berkowitz: For instance, to come back to Protect Democracy… When I started to engage with them — and I’ve helped facilitate some of my clients and others through the Democracy Funders Network and otherwise to give to Protect Democracy and other organizations — but when I first engaged with them, part of what started happening is not only did I appreciate their strategy and their leadership and did I find it interesting, but I started to hear from people I trust about the organization.”
♦️On Partnership For Safe Voting:
***** “Mike Berkowitz: There was an initiative called the Partnership for Safe Voting that really drove a kind of aligned agenda within philanthropy to protect the elections, to expand temporary voting rights so that more people could vote by mail so that there were safe options for voting, etc.”******
♦️On Philanthropy in the 2020 election:
“Mike Berkowitz: I’ll say, before I come to the second part, which is that philanthropy wound up having to play a role in election administration itself for the first time in history
Robert Wiblin: Just to be clear, you’re saying philanthropists were funding the operation of the election, like the existence of polling places and things. I saw that and I couldn’t believe it.
Mike Berkowitz: For instance, there was an actually not great Time magazine piece by Molly Ball on this a few weeks ago that talked about it in really conspiratorial terms.”
♦️On Trump Hitler:
“Mike Berkowitz: Yeah. I really wish the Republican Party had taken Donald Trump more seriously as a candidate. I think they could have done that at multiple stages along the way, including when it became clear that he was going to be the nominee. I try not to make too many analogies to Nazi Germany, but I think there is a really interesting analogy here from the early 1930s where von Papen convinces von Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as chancellor and himself as vice chancellor, and von Papen thinks that he’s going to be able to control Hitler, and of course he’s not able to.”
♦️On Ranked Choice Voting purposely affecting results:
“Mike Berkowitz: My friend and colleague at Stanford Larry Diamond is, for instance, a real proponent of ranked-choice voting. And the idea behind ranked-choice voting is that you don’t just have to win a pluralistic election by getting the most votes out of all the candidates, but you actually have to win a majority. And the way you win a majority is by counting people’s second, third, and sometimes fourth place choices and aggregating those votes until you have someone who has earned a majority of the votes.
Mike Berkowitz: And the idea there is that that actually is a moderating influence on the election. It means that when you’re running for office, you want to appeal beyond just your partisan base, because you want to get people’s second, third, and fourth choice votes.“

Interview: Mike Berkowitz of Democracy Funders Network on keeping the US a liberal democratic country
♦️How DFN started:
“Mike Berkowitz: The Democracy Funders Network (DFN) actually grew out of Patriots & Pragmatists, which preceded it in early 2017.“
Mike Berkowitz: The core insight there was that because of the polarization in our politics that had really accelerated over the Obama years
(Mike worked Kerry’s campaign and was a consultant to a group called the Soros Democracy Alliance )
♦️On Protect Democracy
“Mike Berkowitz: One other that I’ll raise right now is a group called Protect Democracy, which was created in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election with a realization that there are a set of challenges to a liberal democracy that we are going to be facing in this country. And we want to try to prevent it from becoming a more authoritarian or autocratic form of government. It was started by a number of lawyers from the Obama administration.”
“Mike Berkowitz: For instance, to come back to Protect Democracy… When I started to engage with them — and I’ve helped facilitate some of my clients and others through the Democracy Funders Network and otherwise to give to Protect Democracy and other organizations — but when I first engaged with them, part of what started happening is not only did I appreciate their strategy and their leadership and did I find it interesting, but I started to hear from people I trust about the organization.”

💥 Further proof that the Partnership For Safe Voting worked with election administrators. And Democracy Fund declared they are no longer bipartisan.
♦️Democracy fund on the 2020 election. Recall it’s president, Joe Goldman is a co-chair to Soros Partnership For Safe Voting:
“For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our community played a key role in supporting a safe and secure 2020 election. Through increased democracy-focused giving, our grantees provided crucial technical assistance and education to local election administrators adopting mail-in voting, implemented health protocols at polling centers, and recruited thousands of much-needed poll workers.”
♦️Democracy Fund officially declared independence from bipartisanship in 2021.
“We wrestled through a series of tough conversations that resulted in us “declaring independence” from bipartisanship and creating a new organizational framework in 2021.”
I think this sums things up well.

What don’t I have? How about global election collusion with the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA)? And it links to the Manhattan DA office, CIS, and London etc as founders!
(CIS and GCA shared the same office.)
Then add a little Brennan Ctr, Hamilton68, DHS, World Economic Forum, Crowdstrike, and Chertoff etc too.
There’s so much inside here, please read this.
I also suggest searching my account for both Democracy Fund and Democracy Alliance if you can get it to work.

The Brennan center which worked with Soros, Partnership for Safe Voting, was also involved in Zuckerbucks. Both directly and indirectly.
The Zuckerbucks, Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and the National Vote at Home Institute both worked with the Brennan center.
The Zuckerbucks National Vote at home also did election audits.
CTCL was involved in a GLOBAL emergency meeting on Jan 6. which created words to apply to the narrative on the Jan 6 individuals. You can watch this develop by date.
Just read this Brennan Ctr thread starting from here . 👇🏻 I have other evidence that may help too. I’ll look for it.
This ones for @SidneyPowell1

🤌🏻🔥This will get really good the next two posts after this!
This here is the additional Brennan Center and Zuckerbucks info that I promised. Recall the Brennan Ctr was an active part of Soros, Partnership For Safe Elections.
The Brennan Centers, Liz Howard, was actively involved with the Center For Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and National Vote at Home.
CTCL is directly linked to Barack Obama too. And so was voter registration. I’ll look for these too. I have tons of stuff on all of this election stuff. Someone should pick my brain.
It gets better as you read down in the thread.

Tianna Epps Johnson developed her Zuckerbucks, Center For Tech and Civic Life while she was an Obama fellow. In fact that’s what got her accepted.
Obama gave her a cozy office in the same bldg as his old election campaign headquarters.
The office she shared, Civic Exchange Chicago, included Hearken whose Election SOS org contributed to the Jan 6 narrative. Election SOS also worked with First Draft News on disinformation.
Not too long ago, I found out that two Google employees that worked at the Obama Whitehouse started the First Draft News censorship org. (While he was still in office in 2015.)

I’m gonna squeeze in one off topic post because it involves the first major US censorship, First Draft News.
And this was CREATED BY OBAMAS GOOGLE PALS. At least one was currently working at the White House when it was developed in 2015.
About a year and a half later, it was expanded globally.
(Just a little fact, the founder of the 77th brigade psychological unit was in the founding First Draft News team. As were Integrity Initiative assets.)

I don’t want to overwhelm you but both an Obama linked org and the Brennan center were involved in voter registration for the 2020 election.
There’s a thread under this linked synopsis.
Acorn partnered Project vote, where Karine Jean- Pierre, Obama, and Frances Fox Piven all worked together never went away.
It was RENAMED!
(PS. Demos worked with the Soros, Partnership For Safe Elections. Obama was involved in the creation of this org. 💅 It’s in my timeline somewhere. )
Why am I bringing up Obama? Talk to you next exposé. 🤭
