Salesforce has come under scrutiny, particularly concerning its ties to political figures and organizations that raise eyebrows. The company, chosen by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to manage the state’s voter rolls, has been pointed to as a cog in a larger scheme perceived as corrupt. In 2022, alarms were raised about this partnership, questioning the wisdom of selecting a company with no known experience in handling voter registrations.
Raffensperger’s credibility took a hit during the aftermath of the 2020 election when concerns about vote integrity prompted accusations of collusion to manipulate election outcomes. Despite millions in support for President Trump, the Secretary of State was accused of orchestrating a process that thrust Joe Biden into office by manufacturing votes in the days following Election Day. This history raises serious doubts about Raffensperger’s ability to safeguard future elections.
Garland Favorito from VoterGA echoed these concerns, questioning, “What sense does this make?” Favorito’s statement highlights the financial motives behind this arrangement, suggesting a conflict of interest exists. The insinuation is that Raffensperger has been compromised, using Georgia’s election system as a pawn for personal or financial gain. The call to action is clear: the Governor and Attorney General of Georgia need to intervene and ban Salesforce’s influence over the state’s electoral process.
Further complicating the narrative is Salesforce’s CEO Marc Benioff. His affiliations have attracted criticism, particularly regarding his investment choices and record of far-left actions. Reports surfaced that he threatened to relocate Salesforce out of Texas due to its strict abortion laws, raising questions about his commitment to conservative values.
The situation escalates as it’s revealed that Salesforce is contributing tens of millions of dollars to organizations like the Tides Foundation and Arabella Advisors, both of which are associated with funding activities that some argue undermine American interests. Benioff, known for his financial support of left-wing figures such as Hillary Clinton, has now positioned himself as an ally of Trump, claiming support for deploying the National Guard in San Francisco to alleviate police shortages. “If [the Guard] can be cops, I’m all for it,” he stated to the New York Times, further complicating his already contentious public image.
The juxtaposition of Benioff’s past contributions to groups associated with violence and his recent overtures towards Trump leaves many feeling skeptical. Critics suggest that a company tied to leftist causes should not be trusted to play a role in managing election integrity, particularly in a battleground state like Georgia.
The overarching question remains: How did a company like Salesforce, under the leadership of someone with such political entanglements, come to control vital voter data? The ties between Raffensperger, Salesforce, and the Deep State present a narrative many find hard to swallow. As citizens demand transparency and accountability from their leaders, it’s critical to examine these relationships and their implications for the future of elections in Georgia and beyond.
