The Patriot Post® · In Brief: The Bidenbucks Threat to Free and Fair Elections
Many Americans simply don’t believe the 2020 election was conducted on the up and up, and it’s looking like 2024 has some of the same potential. In fact, some factors may make it even more concerning. The Washington Examiner editorial board writes:
Since Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg poured more than $400 million into liberal nonprofit organizations to help local election administrators increase voter turnout in places likely to vote for the Democratic Party in the 2020 election, 28 states have passed laws banning the use of private money to administer public elections.
President Joe Biden, however, has found a way around this, and it involves spending your tax dollars.
On March 7, 2021, he issued Executive Order 14019, which directs political appointees at every federal agency to “promote voter registration and voter participation.”
Every eligible citizen who wishes to vote should have the opportunity to do so, but only the most naive will think political appointees, people whose jobs depend on Biden winning reelection, would develop their voter registration and participation plans in a nonpartisan manner.
Biden’s political appointees will inevitably use the power of the federal government to target their registration and voting efforts on those voters most likely to support Democratic candidates.
Agencies such as the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development will be working to register voters. As the Examiner implied, that isn’t going to help Republicans who oppose or want to rein in those bureaucracies. It’s not going to be reliable, either.
Do any of these federal agencies have experience running voter registration and voter participation programs properly? No, of course not. Their relevant experience is, or at least should be, in health, education, farming, and nutrition. So who are federal agencies turning to for guidance in crafting their voter registration and participation plans?
To the same liberal nonprofit groups Democrats have used for years to boost voter registration among their partisan voters. Documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project show the Department of Agriculture worked closely with the Democratically aligned Demos organization to craft voter registration and participation materials.
Who will they target for registration? “Recipients of government programs who are most likely to vote for Democratic candidates.”
The Examiner concludes:
His actions, if they persist, will cast a shadow over the election this November, which is the last thing we need.
