Fight Back Table / Democracy Defense Coalition – Dark Money Coordination Hub (US)

Reasonable Inference

[Reasonable Inference — As to advance coordination] Mike Podhorzer (AFL-CIO senior advisor) and Deirdre Schifeling led the “Fight Back Table” and “Democracy Defense Coalition” operating out of 1536 U Street NW, Washington, D.C. These entities drafted internal memos predicting battleground state outcomes before the election and mobilized dark money and union resources. The predictive accuracy of pre-election memos — confirmed by Time magazine — is consistent with, but does not independently establish, advance coordination with individuals embedded in election administration.
