Privatized Election Operations
A recurring structural concern in the 2020 election is the progressive displacement of publicly accountable election officials by private vendors, grant‑funded consultants, and NGO networks that exercised de facto control over key aspects of election administration. From voting‑system contractors who dictated technical configurations and blocked independent audits, to CTCL‑funded operatives embedded inside city election offices, these private actors operated outside normal transparency, FOIA, and conflict‑of‑interest safeguards while influencing ballot handling, tabulation processes, and election‑night operations.

Election Record Integrity Findings
The voter saw a governmental election. The record shows a private organization deciding whom to hire, where to place the drop boxes, how to process the absentee ballots, who sat in the counting room on election night, and which records would later be available for inspection. The public paid for it. The public didn't run it. The public couldn't audit it. And the public still can't see the records.
