<p style="text-align: center"><i><span style="font-weight: 400">New Report Finds Over $22 Million from the Arnolds Flowing to Groups Working to Kill the SAVE America Act and Block President Trump&#8217;s Election Integrity Agenda</span></i></p>
<p><a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Fair Election Fund (FEF),</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> an election integrity watchdog group, today released a </span><a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/FEF_Integrity_Report.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400">new report </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">revealing that billionaires Laura and John Arnold, who have spent years cultivating an image of bipartisan philanthropy, have quietly directed over $22 million to organizations actively working to defeat the SAVE America Act and block President Trump&#8217;s election integrity agenda ahead of the 2026 midterms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">This comes as 83% of Americans </span><a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/652523/americans-endorse-early-voting-voter-verification.aspx"><span style="font-weight: 400">support</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> requiring voters to show identification and prove their citizenship, and the Arnolds are funding the campaign against it. FEF&#8217;s report identifies instances where Arnold-funded groups have campaigned against voter identification laws or the SAVE America Act.</span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Among the report&#8217;s findings:</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Arnolds gave </span><b>between $5 million and $9.99 million to the ACLU</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. In June 2026, the ACLU launched a $24.5 million lobbying campaign to block proof-of-citizenship voting requirements. The ACLU has called voter identification a &#8220;dangerous assault on democracy&#8221; and is operating an active petition and phone switchboard to pressure members of Congress into opposing voter ID laws.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Arnolds gave </span><b>more than $2.25 million to the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC)</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. BPC released a research report in March 2026 arguing many Americans lack access to ID, followed by a July 2026 policy brief for lawmakers downplaying the risks of noncitizen voting.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Arnolds gave </span><b>at least $5.7 million to the Brookings Institution</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, which has characterized the SAVE Act as &#8220;an attempt to restrict voting rights&#8221; that would &#8220;disenfranchise approximately 60 million rural voters.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Arnolds gave </span><b>more than $1.5 million to the Center for American Progress</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, which has published a steady stream of reports calling the SAVE America Act &#8220;extreme&#8221; and arguing the administration &#8220;seems intent on manipulating election rules.&#8221; CAP is leading petition efforts urging individuals to contact Congress and block the SAVE Act.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Arnolds gave </span><b>between $5 million and $9.99 million to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, which has signed onto multiple coalition letters opposing voter identification requirements and called proof-of-citizenship requirements &#8220;voter suppression.&#8221; </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400">Report Finds Arnold Ventures Sent Over $20 Million to Groups Like Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Center for American Progress</span></em></p>
<p><a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Fair Election Fund (FEF),</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> an election integrity watchdog group, today released a </span><a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/FEF_ArnoldVentures_Report-FINAL.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400">new report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> taking a closer look at Arnold Ventures, a “bipartisan” philanthropy, and their quiet election influence operation that poured over $20 million into organizations actively working to elect Democrats, flip Congress, and pave the way for another impeachment of President Trump.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Founded by registered Democrats John and Laura Arnold, who have donated </span><a href="https://fortune.com/2026/07/08/john-arnold-ventures-sports-betting-research-grants/"><span style="font-weight: 400">billions of dollars</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> to leftist causes, Arnold Ventures describes itself as a “bipartisan” philanthropy advocating for “evidence-based” policy solutions. In this new report, FEF found that Arnold Ventures is supporting left-leaning organizations working to elect Democrats, undermining the very bipartisan credibility that Arnold Ventures claims. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The report tracks Arnold Ventures’ giving to four left-leaning groups, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Center for American Progress, Vera Institute of Justice, and Brookings Institution, each of which has a documented record of electoral activity that overwhelmingly benefits Democratic candidates and causes.</span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Among the report&#8217;s findings:</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Arnold Ventures gave </span><b>over $5 million directly to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, which has endorsed dozens of Democrats in key congressional races and has not endorsed a single Republican. The Action Fund has already committed $3.5 million to defeat House Republicans in swing districts that could determine who holds the Speakership. Arnold Ventures also personally donated over $100,000 to Planned Parenthood Texas Votes as part of an effort to turn Texas blue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Arnold Ventures gave </span><b>over $1.5 million to the Center for American Progress</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, which used those dollars to promote Rep. Katherine Clark, a Democrat who has called President Trump a &#8220;traitor&#8221; and demanded his impeachment. CAP employees gave 100% of their $147,332 in 2024 contributions to Democrats.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Arnold Ventures gave </span><b>over $13 million to the Vera Institute of Justice</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, whose political arm is running a direct midterm election operation to stop President Trump&#8217;s law and order agenda. Vera&#8217;s director presented at the DNC on how Democrats can win the crime debate. In May 2026, Vera launched a midterm campaign with Dream.org to combat Trump&#8217;s public safety legislation. Vera employees gave 100% of their $14,000 in 2024 political donations to Democrats.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Arnold Ventures gave </span><b>over $5.7 million to the Brookings Institution</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, which has functioned as a campaign platform for Democratic lawmakers this election cycle. Brookings hosted Reps. Maxwell Frost, Adam Schiff, and Sen. Jeff Merkley at events this year. Also noteworthy, Brookings employees gave 100% of their $243,585 in 2024 political contributions to Democratic candidates.</span></p>

In a letter to Eisen, Chairman Comer demanded documents tied to activities that appear to line the pockets of the group&#8217;s own donors.</p>
<p>The Oversight Committee raised serious concerns that Eisen’s organization has been running a pay-to-play operation, exploiting its tax-exempt charitable status to reward donors while conducting political lobbying that far exceeds what the law allows. This latest inquiry is part of a sweeping congressional investigation into IRS failures to enforce the rules governing 501(c)(3) entities, which dates back to 2024.</p>
<p>Fair Election Fund released the following statement:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The House Oversight Committee&#8217;s investigation reveals a deeply troubling pattern: a tax-exempt organization weaponizing its charitable status to enrich its own donors rather than serving any legitimate public purpose. That is not advocacy; it’s a shakedown dressed up as charity, and it is an abuse of the tax code.</em></p>
<p><em>Organizations that exploit nonprofit status for political and financial gain undermine public trust in our institutions. We commend Chairman Comer for his continued oversight and urge swift action from the IRS.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><b>WASHINGTON </b><span style="font-weight: 400">– </span><span style="font-weight: 400">The Fair Election Fund (FEF), a non-partisan public interest organization committed to promoting effective administration of elections in a transparent way that instills public confidence in electoral results, today announced a five-figure digital ad campaign to amplify its explosive </span><a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/MicrosoftReport.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400">report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> on Microsoft’s censorship practices and the impact on free and fair U.S. elections, in addition to its recent reports grading election commissions and secretaries of state in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina and Michigan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The campaign will run on major social media platforms and target policymakers, media and influencers in the nation’s capital. The Microsoft component of the effort aims to pressure the company on reforms following FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson’s </span><a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/08/ftc-chairman-ferguson-warns-companies-against-censoring-or-weakening-data-security-americans-behest"><span style="font-weight: 400">August warning</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> about companies “censoring or weakening the data security of Americans at the behest of foreign powers.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The ads spotlight Microsoft’s pattern of political bias and national security vulnerabilities, urging accountability and action by lawmakers and regulators to investigate the company’s practices. This initiative builds on FEF’s mission to restore voter trust by exposing systemic threats to our elections. </span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">“Microsoft has a history of censoring conservatives, aligning with foreign adversaries, and risking our national security, and their actions demand immediate scrutiny.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Prompted by FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson&#8217;s </span><a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/08/ftc-chairman-ferguson-warns-companies-against-censoring-or-weakening-data-security-americans-behest"><span style="font-weight: 400">August 2025 letter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> warning tech giants against censorship and data security lapses under foreign pressure, the report details Microsoft&#8217;s aggressive suppression of conservative voices, partisan election initiatives, and risky national security practices that erode voter trust.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Fair Election Fund report “reveals a troubling pattern of bias that tilts the scales against conservatives, empowers America’s adversaries, and undermines the integrity of our democratic process.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center"><strong>Fair Election Fund Gives Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt a C- on Election Administration</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>WASHINGTON</strong> – The <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fair Election Fund</a> (FEF), a nonpartisan national election integrity watchdog group, has released its fifth report in a <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/reports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">series</a> evaluating election administration officials in key battleground states. This latest report gives Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt a C- grade for his poor record of handling the Commonwealth’s elections, citing mail-in ballot concerns, decentralized election practices, and legal inconsistencies across counties.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the Pennsylvania Constitution mandates that elections be held by ballot, <a href="https://www.palegis.us/statutes/unconsolidated/law-information?sessYr=2019&amp;sessInd=0&amp;actNum=77" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Act 77 (2019)</a> allows no-excuse mail-in voting, allowing any voter to request and cast an absentee/mail ballot with no excuse or reason. In 2020 alone, more than 2.7 million mail ballots were requested, up from just 266,000 in 2016.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Pennsylvania also grants wide discretion to its 67 counties. From drop box placement to ballot curing, counties often set their own rules, leading to a <a href="https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/08/pennsylvania-election-administration-officials-fraud-rigging/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">patchwork</a> of procedures and voter confusion. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court frequently steps in to resolve election disputes, underscoring the lack of legislative clarity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This decentralized system was on full display during the 2024 U.S. Senate race between Bob Casey and David McCormick, when ballot disputes and legal challenges dragged the <a href="https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/11/pennsylvania-election-recount-senate-bob-casey-dave-mccormick-over/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recount</a> on for 17 days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Other offenses include:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Weak leadership</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">SOS Schmidt was accused of acting as a political operative after inconsistently enforcing election laws across counties, undermining uniformity and trust in Pennsylvania’s election process.</p>
</li>

</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Undated ballot counting</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">In Pennsylvania, the counting of undated mail-in ballots has been a subject of significant legal debate in the 2024 election cycle.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">In April FEF <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/press-releases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">launched</a> a new initiative, grading election administration officials in battleground states across the U.S.</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">The first <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/election-integrity-watchdog-group-launches-new-effort-to-evaluate-election-administration-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a> card graded Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson a “D” for her failures to bring confidence to Michigan voters.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">The second report <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/fair-election-fund-evaluates-north-carolina-board-of-elections-in-new-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">evaluated</a> the North Carolina Board of Elections (NCSBE), which received a “C” grade for its election administration.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">FEF’s third report <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/new-fair-election-fund-report-gives-nevada-secretary-of-state-a-d-grade-on-election-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">examined</a> Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, who received a D+ for shifting guidelines that hindered third-party candidate ballot access.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">The fourth report <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/fair-election-fund-gives-wisconsin-elections-commission-a-d-grade-on-election-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reviewed</a> the Wisconsin Elections Commission, which received a “D+” grade on its election administration processes.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">In March, the Fair Election Fund <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/the-fair-election-fund-slams-cbs-and-expresses-support-for-fcc-investigation-into-networks-collusion-with-harris-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">filed commentary</a> with the FCC on the issue raised against CBS for unlawful news distortion and coordination with the Harris 2024 Presidential Campaign in the network’s 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris last year.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">In August of 2024, the Fair Election Fund <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/fair-election-fund-launches-into-potential-donor-fraud-by-actblue-biden-harris-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">uncovered</a> 60,000 potential cases of donor fraud involving the Biden-Harris campaign and ActBlue and turned over the data to Republican attorneys general across the country.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">The Fair Election Fund successfully stopped national Democrats’ voter suppression scheme in states across the country last year. In October 2024, FEF launched a six-figure paid media <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/fair-election-fund-launches-paid-media-campaign-declaring-victory-over-marc-elias-and-his-voter-suppression-scheme/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">campaign</a> that exposed Marc Elias’s failed racist lawsuits that tried to disenfranchise thousands of black voters who signed petitions to get Cornel West on the ballot in their respective battleground states.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">The Fair Election Fund invested over $750,000 in paid media efforts last year to expose the Democrats’ attempts to block Kamala Harris’s competition from the ballot. The Fair Election Fund invested in states such as <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/07/08/exclusive-election-integrity-group-hammers-north-carolina-democrats-trying-keep-cornel-west-rfk-jr-off-ballot-protect-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">North Carolina</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKeX-7pel-E" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michigan</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxenralsdAA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pennsylvania</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJeLWrpzAxE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Virginia</a>. Click here to learn more about the Democrats’ failed election interference scheme and how the Fair Election Fund stood up for voting rights.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Last year, the Fair Election Fund launched an <a href="https://thefairelectionfund.com/fair-election-fund-launches-six-figure-investigation-into-noncitizen-voting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">investigation</a> examining the jury summons responses and voter rolls in key swing state counties to identify voter fraud.</p>
