Wealthy Cultist Gave Millions To “Voter Fraud” Groups

July 20, 2024 Extremists, Trump cultists

The Guardian reports:

The multimillionaire and prominent election denier Patrick Byrne has been boosting his funding to the MAGA-allied America Project and using it to steer six-figure checks to far-right groups that push voting conspiracies in Arizona, Michigan and elsewhere, according to tax records and voting experts.

Byrne, the former CEO of online retailer Overstock.com, said last fall that only $3m of the $30m the Florida-based project had raised at that point came from “the public”, with the rest coming from him.

In 2022, the America Project almost doubled its revenues to $14.3m versus some $7.7m the prior year, according to tax records first disclosed by Issue One, a bipartisan political reform group. The America Project was launched in April 2021 by Byrne and Michael Flynn.

In December 2020, Bryne reportedly took part in a “wild” White House meeting at which he and fellow cultists Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell attempted to have the US military seize voting machines.

Byrne has spoken at many QAnon conferences and last appeared here in April when he participated in a conference staged by so-called constitutional sheriffs and militia groups.

Byrne is the former boyfriend of Russian spy Maria Butina, who was deported in 2019 after allegedly funneling Russian money to the NRA for them to use on Trump’s behalf. In 2022, Butina declared that Ukraine is bombing itself, going on to call Zelensky a Nazi.
