Okay, this is the second post today that has āfraudā in its titleā¦
The America Project, a national nonprofit thatās been focused on railing against the countryās voting system, spent $1.2 million funding lawyers and groups in Michigan during the 2022 election year, according to a recently filed tax document.
The Florida-based nonprofit co-founded by former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne reported it gave $429,875 to the law office of Oakland County attorney Stefanie Lambert for ālegal support.ā Lambert was charged with four felonies in August 2023 for allegedly participating in a scheme to improperly access voting machines used in the 2020 presidential election.
The America Project also said it provided $700,000 for a Waterford Township organization thatās connected to Lambert and called āUnited States Election Investigation and Lawsuits.ā The money was for āelection integrity,ā [emphasis mine ā r2 ] according to the nonprofitās tax filing, which didnāt include additional details about the expenditure.
āElection integrity.ā You have to laugh.
The tax document also showed how funds have been used to ensure conspiracy theories about voter fraud persist, said Chris Thomas, Michiganās former longtime elections director. [ā¦] āObviously, this is a glimpse into the post-2020 spending to keep their (election) deniersā conspiracy alive," Thomas said.

FYI: āWhoāsā is a contraction of āwho has.ā You donāt need the [sic] there because itās used correctly.
Thank you for that, sincerely. Not to be headstrongāyou are technically correct, I had parsed it wrong and my correction is coming forthwithābut contracting āwho hasā is clumsy in this case.
