God 4give Dems 4 Charity Voter Racket?

Is Democrats’ “Charity” voter registration scheme a public service or disingenuous tool for skirting election & tax exemption laws? A 501(c(3) nonprofit isn’t supposed to deal in politics but tell righteous extremists that …

WSJ columnist Kim Strassel calls out a recent New York Times piece that she says “confirms a political reality that Republicans have been slow to publicize: Democrats are openly abusing charities to stack voter rolls in their favor.” Kim explains the Times story pretends to be about voter registration groups worrying that donors weren’t giving enough moolah to “democracy-related” programs as the mid-term elections near. But, she quickly adds, “Read closely and you notice the story is entirely about Democrats, confirming a longstanding scheme by which foundations and private donors funnel tax-exempt dollars into ‘charities’ that microtarget & register Democratic voters.”

If true, talk about “dark money” & “brazen” political money-laundering in a way that is marginally legal. But, as Kim further explains, it’s not all that new: “The left has been growing this ‘philanthropy’ racket for decades … and is now a giant operation.” Think Clinton Foundation? Where in the World is George Soros, if not here? Opines the WSJ columnist: “America’s charitable giving laws have been an enormous force for good, but Democrats [in this way] are cynically abusing the system for partisan gain. If Congress wants to keep dollars & politicking in the political sphere … it needs to change tax law to prohibit ‘charities’ outright from taking part in voter-registration” business.
