What fresh hell is this?  Then I see "Paid for by Republicans for Voting Rights" at the bottom, along with "A project of Defending Democracy Together"

Funding

Defending Democracy Together has been criticized for taking at least $600,000 in two grants from Democracy Fund Voice, a 501(c)(4) group created and funded by left-wing mega-donor Pierre Omidyar.[24] According to Democracy Fund Voice’s website, in May 2018 it “approved two grants to Defending Democracy Together: first in the amount of up to $100,000 over one year and then in the amount of up to $500,000 over one year” (image available here). [25]

As of January 2020, however, Democracy Fund Voice’s website notes that it awarded up to $1.6 million in grants to DDT in 2018. [26]

DDT received $1.6 million in two grants from Democracy Fund Voice in 2018, according to the latter’s 2018 IRS Form 990 filing. The grants were for, respectively, “general operating support” and “research and advocacy to restore faith in U.S. democracy.” [27]

DDT also received $75,000 from the Hopewell Fund in 2018 for “civil rights, social action, [and] advocacy.” [28] The Hopewell Fund is part of a $600 million network of left-wing funding nonprofits managed by Arabella Advisors in Washington, D.C.

Defending Democracy Together’s IRS Form 990 filing for 2018 was obtained by the Capital Research Center and is available here:
