Democrats haven’t stopped trying to take over elections, they just have new tactics to do so under voters’ noses.
Employees throughout the federal government who are carrying out President Joe Biden’s executive order directing them to get involved in state elections are likely all violating the Anti-Deficiency Act, besides interfering in the election process and using federal resources in what seems to be a get-out-the-vote operation for the party in power in the White House.
The administration is doing everything possible to conceal its activities, in violation of federal open records laws.
Biden issued this statement on March 7, last year. executive order that he claimed was intended to promote “access” to voting. He does not have any constitutional or statutory authority to make this order.
Biden justified it by making a series false allegations in his order. He claimed, for example, that “many Americans, especially people of color, confront significant obstacles to exercising their fundamental right,” including “difficulties with voter registration, lack of election information, and barriers to access at polling places.”
These claims are absurd.
It’s much easier to register today than ever through numerous state and regional agencies and offices. You can also universally register by mail or even online in most of the states.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau the registration in the 2020 federal election was higherThere were more than in the 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2016 presidential elections. What barriers are there to voting? What are these barriers? According to the Census Bureau, the 2020 election’s turnout was 66.8%. This is just below the record turnout of 67% of voting-age citizens in 1992. Biden’s entire executive order is based on a lie.
The order directed every federal agency to come up with a “strategic” plan to use agency personnel and resources to persuade and “assist” members of the public who interact with that agency to register to vote and cast ballots in the upcoming election, including providing access to “vote-by-mail ballot applications,” identification documents, and multilingual voting materials.
It even told the agencies to solicit third-party organizations to “provide voter registration services on agency premises,” virtually guaranteeing that liberal, left-wing organizations who want to keep Biden and his party in office will have access to every member of the public interacting with the federal government in official settings.
This executive order can cause confusion and chaos because federal agencies can interfere with the states’ voter registration and election processes. It can also confuse (and intimidate) vulnerable members who are applying for federal welfare. They may think they must register for and vote for the party in charge of the White House or Congress to ensure that their applications are not denied.
Another way to look at it is as Zuckbucks 2. In the 2020 election, Mark Zuckerberg gave several hundred million dollars to a left-wing nonprofit that then distributed the money in “grants” to local election offices.
The majority of the money is spent. wentDemocratic-controlled areas in dense urban areas, like Philadelphia. The point of this private funding was to use local government resources for the Democratic Party’s get-out-the-vote campaign. Democrats now control the executive branch and want to use taxpayer money for the same purpose.
And the Biden administration doesn’t want to reveal the details of the strategic plans formulated by these federal agencies.
Not only has the information not been provided to state election officials, but many organizations, including the Foundation for Government Accountability have filed requests under federal Freedom of Information Act to obtain copies of these plans. The Biden administration has been openly hostile to their requests. It refused to comply with law, causing the FGA to file suit to compel compliance under the Freedom of Information Act. The FGA has just obtained a court order telling the Justice Department that these documents have to be turned over prior to the midterm elections, and not in 2023 – after the midterm elections – as the Justice Department was requesting.
Biden is not only engaging in unilateral action that he does not have legal authority for to interfere in a state function or intimidate the general public, but all federal employees who are participating in this Democratic get out-the-vote operation with taxpayer funding and government resources are violating the Equal Protection Clause. Anti-Deficiency ActThis is the which prohibitsFederal employees and agencies are prohibited from spending funds for activities that Congress has not authorized or for funding Congress has not appropriated.
Congress has not approved funding for any federal agency of the executive branch to participate in voter registration and other ballot activities.
The Department of Defense, which administers it, is the only exception. Federal Voting Assistance ProgramFor overseas military personnel and civilian personnel, and their families.

Congress should investigate this illegal act by Biden. However, the inspectors General of all federal agencies and departments should also investigate possible violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act committed by their employees.
Moreover, secretaries of state across the nation, as the chief election officials of their states, should be objecting vociferously – and potentially through court action – against Biden’s attempt to interfere in, and manipulate the outcome of, the upcoming midterm congressional elections in November.
According to reports, the Justice Department is investigating former President Donald Trump’s supposed “interference” in the 2020 election while totally ignoring the ongoing interference in the 2022 election.
It is not surprising.
