(DCNF)—A supposedly ‘non-partisan’ nonprofit was excluding typically conservative interests from its targeted ads to encourage voter registration, The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday.
The Voter Participation Center (VPC), which describes itself as a “non-partisan organization,” posted advertisements on Facebook encouraging voter turnout in swing states, but instructed Facebook to exclude showing advertisements to people interested in things associated with Republican voters, such as NASCAR, military novelist Tom Clancy, the PGA Tour and Duck Dynasty, according to the ad data. The VPC has ties to the Democratic Party, with founder Paige Gardner working on the 1992 Bill Clinton presidential campaign, and 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign manager John Podesta is a founding board member, according to Influence Watch.
“[The] Voter Participation Center has laughed at the line forbidding partisan voter registration for years. Their partisan ad targeting fits with their using Democratic microtargeting firms. Will they ever be held accountable?” Capital Research Center CEO Scott Walter told the Washington Free Beacon. “In an age of microtargeting and zero accountability, charities should not be allowed to register voters or get out the vote, period.”
NASCAR and the PGA Tour have fans that lean Republican on average, according to a 2013 study by the National Journal. Other excluded interests included the Indianapolis 500, with the racing series Indycar also skewing Republican.
The VPC also made their ads target more liberal-associated interests, such as pop singer Taylor Swift, comedian Jordan Peele, “African-American Literature” and hot yoga, according to the ad data. Taylor Swift endorsed Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen for Senate and former Rep. Jim Cooper in the 2018 midterm elections, according to NBC.
The VPC has engaged in dubiously legal behavior in the past, with the organization working with the Center for Voter Information to pressure people into voting, sending out mail that said they were “sending the mailing to you and other voters across Ohio with your first name to share who does and does not vote in an effort to promote election participation.” The VPC also allegedly illegally retained sensitive voter information such as date of birth and also sent out pre-filled ballots to voters with inaccurate information in the 2020 election.
Over the last 90 days, the VPC has spent $760,709 on 8,235 ads, according to the ad data. The VPC holds $18,954,464 in total assets, spending $31,388,915 on voter participation efforts, according to 2022 Internal Revenue Service tax filings.
The VPC did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
