The Fair Election Fund, a newly formed election watchdog organization, is paying whistleblowers tens of thousands of dollars in bounties to promote election integrity. The group plans to expand its efforts with a six-figure digital ad buy in key swing states during the Olympics.
The Fair Election Fund, a national election integrity watchdog group, is announcing the awarding of an initial $50,000 in "bounties" to whistleblowers who have reported firsthand knowledge of voter fraud or irregularities in four states, including North Carolina and Michigan.
The group, established earlier this year, has pledged millions of dollars to promote election integrity by paying and protecting whistleblowers on the front lines who identify issues at polling places and election offices.

"The Fair Election Fund is thrilled that our incentives are working and we're learning more about systemic problems with our election system," said Doug Collins, former congressman from Georgia and Fair Election Fund Senior Advisor. "This is just the beginning."
The Fund is now sharing the stories of whistleblowers who have exposed wrongdoing in the election process, highlighting the need for continued vigilance.

"We must shine a light on these abuses and root out election fraud before Americans head to the polls this November," Collins said.
To expand its reach, the Fair Election Fund is launching a six-figure digital ad buy in key swing states during the Olympics. The ad, titled "We're Watching," will run in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina.

The ad tells the story of a Connecticut Democratic operative recently charged in an absentee ballot stuffing investigation, emphasizing that election integrity is crucial.
"Voting is our most sacred right as Americans," the ad states. "When the stakes are this high, we can't afford to let our guard down."

The Fair Election Fund believes that paying bounties to whistleblowers and raising awareness through its "We're Watching" campaign will deter potential fraudsters and promote fair and transparent elections.
The group's efforts are particularly timely as concerns about election integrity remain high following the 2020 presidential election. Allegations of widespread voter fraud have persisted, prompting ongoing investigations and legal challenges.
The Fair Election Fund's initiative aims to address these concerns by incentivizing whistleblowers to come forward and report any irregularities they witness, ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.
By paying informants and engaging in public education campaigns, the Fund hopes to strengthen public confidence in the validity of elections and deter any attempts to undermine their fairness.
As the November midterm elections approach, the Fair Election Fund's "We're Watching" campaign is expected to intensify, with a focus on monitoring states with close races and histories of election-related controversies.
