Reasonable Inference
IRS Form 990 PF filings show Democracy Fund and Democracy Fund Voice distributing money across the same universe of nonprofits and “digital democracy” projects that federal officials and contractors elevate as trusted partners on election administration, cybersecurity, and “disinformation.” At the center of the election security side is the Center for Internet Security (CIS), CISA’s long time contractor for the Multi State and Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (MS ISAC and EI ISAC). These ISACs act as a national clearinghouse for sensitive election security information—network telemetry, incident reports, and vulnerability data—from state and local offices in all 50 states.
