Congressman Mike Kelly is joining a bill that aims to end non-profit contributions to election offices.
It’s called the “End Zuckerbucks Act” which stems from Facebook providing direct funding to election offices this past year.
Kelly says moves like this are necessary in order to restore trust in the election process.
“I don’t care if you’re Republican, a Democrat, an independent, a libertarian. That’s not the issue. The issue is the faith and trust and confidence you have in the way we elect people. If we lose that, then we’ve lost everything,” Kelly said at a press conference.
A report found that 23 counties in Pennsylvania took money from the Facebook fund. However, county officials have said they needed the money because they weren’t sufficiently funded to coordinate elections.
Kelly filed a lawsuit last year seeking to render mail-in ballots as unconstitutional that was ultimately rejected by a number of state courts.
