Biden Election Order Under Scrutiny

Capitalizing on their control of the federal bureaucracy, the Democrats are trying everything they can to get Joe Biden reelected and keep the trillions in taxpayer dollars flowing their way. One strategy, using government resources to turn out the vote in their favor, has come under scrutiny by a House committee.

The Administration Committee has issued subpoenas to 15 agencies within the Biden administration to determine if an Executive Order he issued to engage them in the 2024 election is unconstitutional. Chaired by Rep. Bryan Steil of Wisconsin, the committee is looking into potential conflicts between the order and the National Voter Registration Act.

“Congress delegates to federal agencies specific functions and missions, which by law they are required to follow. Their delegation of authority to HUD does not include using funds and resources to provide Americans with voter registration materials,” Steil said of one agency, Housing and Urban Development, under scrutiny.

His committee has also subpoenaed officials from a vast list of government bureaucracies with infinite resources to swing an election, including Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Interior, Justice, Labor, Management and Budget, State, Transportation, and Treasury. Committee Republicans believe that the agencies and departments are using federal resources for partisan activities, which threatens the integrity of the U.S. electoral system. They are considering legislation to repeal Biden’s order and clarify the role of federal workers in voter registration efforts.

States such as New York turned the election system on its head by providing voter registration forms to illegal aliens and others who seek driver's licenses, social welfare, and other services. The next step by the Progressive Democrats who control the system is to allow the migrants to vote.

Steil’s committee has requested detailed plans from the federal agencies on how they intend to carry out Biden’s dictate. “Recent actions under the Department of Education’s new federal work-study requirements and the Small Business Administration’s voter registration agreement with Michigan raise substantial questions about the order’s implementation,” he noted. “These actions and those of other agencies raise substantial questions and concerns, some of which may be answered by access to the strategic plans drafted by the agencies.”

The committee chairman added: “Elections are partisan, but our election administration should never be partisan. Allowing federal employees from the Biden administration to flood election administration sites threatens election integrity and reduces the confidence of Americans in the system.”

A lawsuit claiming that Biden’s order targets key demographics to benefit the president's political party and his re-election efforts has been filed by the Foundation for Government Accountability. Referencing Biden’s slipping poll numbers in contrast to his opponent, former President Donald Trump, the foundation’s president, Tarren Bragdon, stated: “It’s no wonder Team Biden is using their authority and resources to target welfare populations with a federally funded get-out-the-vote effort.”
