Something that the feds really need to look at’: Liberal dark money network sends inaccurate election texts to voters across US

A progressive group funded by anti-Trump billionaire Reid Hoffman and other Democratic heavyweights is behind a rash of misleading text messages stoking concerns about voter suppression across the country, a Washington Free Beacon investigation has found.

AllVote, a low-profile super PAC launched this summer, has sent false information via text message to voters in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and other states about their voting status, CNN, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and other outlets reported this week. Some messages inform voters who have already gone to the polls that they have yet to cast their ballots. Others have been provided inaccurate information about their polling places or drop-box locations.

The Illinois Statewide Terrorism & Intelligence Center said AllVote was behind “confusing text messages” about the election. Officials in McLean County, Ill., said voters were worried that their votes “hadn’t counted” after receiving text messages stating that they had not cast their ballots.
