The Center for Renewing America (CRA) hit Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, his wife, and three voting rights groups with legal complaints over an alleged effort by which they improperly channeled roughly $500 million in a bid to influence the 2020 presidential election.

CRA alleges, according to Fox Business, that the Zuckerbergs sent the money to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), and National Vote at Home Institute (NVAHI), which in turn moved the money to Democrat leaning areas aiming to move competitive states into President Joe Biden's column. Former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe was reportedly Zuckerberg's point man on the effort.

A spokesperson for Zuckerberg denied the complaint's allegations and cited a unanimous decision from the Federal Election Commission that determined donations to the CTCL and CEIR were apolitical, Fox Business noted.
