WASHINGTON, DC — Following the final year-end FEC filing deadline for the 2022 election cycle, government watchdog Accountable.US released an updated analysis showing Fortune 500 companies and industry trade groups gave over $36.3 million to election objectors in Congress since the January 6th insurrection. The latest filings show that since Election Day, Fortune 500 companies such as Charter Communications, Marathon Petroleum, and FedEx gave at least $164,095 to members of Congress that voted to throw out the 2020 election results in service of the ‘Big Lie’. 

Accountable.US’ analysis also revealed that over two-thirds of the final batch of donations — $113,500 — went to Senators Ted Budd and Markwayne Mullin, newly elected U.S. Senators who objected to certifying the 2020 presidential election during their time in the House.
