Democrat Voting Registration Group Takes Foreign Money To 'Change The Outcome' Of U.S. Elections Against Republicans

Another worthy article from Natalie Winters. Here she documents a significant vector for foreign money influencing US elections. As this particular effort is currently targeting 2026 congressional seats.

Documents reviewed exclusively by this publication reveal an elaborate foreign effort to raise millions of dollars for a targeted voter-mobilization operation capable of “chang[ing] the outcomes of national elections” in the United States.

The previously unreported records show that Power for Democracies, a Berlin-based organization, has built a detailed system for evaluating which American nonprofits can most efficiently convert donor money into voter registrations, turnout and political power. After examining more than 100 civil-society organizations, it selected Freedom2Vote as one of the most effective vehicles for influencing the 2026 midterm elections.

Power for Democracies is now steering both American and foreign donors toward the organization, which is seeking approximately $19 million to target potential voters across as many as 14 decisive states.

Its own evaluation projects that the fully funded operation would register more than 350,000 Americans and generate over 200,000 additional votes in “pivotal House and Senate races.”

The operation is not merely aimed at encouraging generic civic participation. Power for Democracies explicitly presents Freedom2Vote as a way to check what it calls “authoritarianism” under President Donald Trump, shift control of Congress during the 2026 midterms and create a newly registered voter base that can be mobilized again in the 2028 presidential election.

The foreign fundraising pitch contains the smoking-gun admission:

“A non-partisan organisation under US tax law, Freedom2Vote maintains neutral language and content in its outreach to ensure compliance. It can receive funds from both US and foreign donors.”

But Freedom2Vote’s operation is built with Civitech, an explicitly partisan Democratic political-technology firm led by a former Hillary Clinton campaign official.
