A newly formed nonprofit organization, the Fair Election Fund (FEF), is dedicated to promoting election integrity by compensating whistleblowers who witness corruption during the election process. The group will focus on election organizers and concerned citizens who witness irregularities firsthand, vetting and paying those who report instances of corruption. The organization’s budget will primarily go towards compensating whistleblowers such as election workers, organizers, and concerned citizens, with all claims being reviewed by experienced election law attorneys. The FEF plans to raise awareness of these cases through paid and earned media campaigns, with the first campaign already in progress.
In an ad released by the FEF, the importance of trust in the election process is emphasized, stating that elections are a crucial part of the American democratic system. The ad cites concerns about voter registration efforts that could lead to illegal immigrants and non-eligible voters being registered, as well as cities pushing to allow non-citizens to vote. Additionally, the ad raises concerns about the lack of voter ID in some places, efforts to curtail voter ID requirements, issues with drop boxes and mail-in ballots, and other potential vulnerabilities in the election system. The organization aims to address these issues by compensating and protecting whistleblowers who come forward to expose fraud and abuse in the election system, with the goal of restoring the American public’s trust in the election process.
The Fair Election Fund’s initiative to compensate and protect whistleblowers is a response to the fear many individuals on the front lines of elections have of losing their livelihoods for speaking out against those in power. The $5 million fund established by the organization aims to shine a light on corruption, put a stop to it, and restore trust with the American public. The initiative is a direct response to documented cases of voter fraud, with the Heritage Foundation’s Voter Fraud Database listing roughly 1,500 cases of confirmed voter fraud and almost 1,300 criminal convictions. This database highlights the importance of safe and secure elections, as even a single ineligible or illegally cast ballot can make a significant difference in an election’s outcome, particularly at the local level.
The FEF’s efforts come at a time when concerns about election integrity are on the rise, with issues such as voter registration practices, voter ID requirements, drop boxes, mail-in ballots, and other vulnerabilities in the election system being highlighted. By compensating and protecting whistleblowers who witness corruption firsthand, the organization aims to address these concerns and restore trust in the electoral process. The organization’s focus on paying whistleblowers like election workers, organizers, and concerned citizens sets it apart as a unique initiative dedicated to promoting election integrity.
Through aggressive paid and earned media campaigns, the Fair Election Fund plans to raise awareness of cases of corruption in the election process, shedding light on issues that have eroded trust in the system. The organization’s efforts to vet and pay whistleblowers who report irregularities in elections demonstrate a commitment to addressing election integrity concerns at the ground level. By shining a light on corruption, stopping it, and compensating and protecting those who come forward to expose fraud and abuse in the election system, the FEF seeks to restore trust and confidence in the American public’s faith in the electoral process.
