House committee subpoenas 15 Biden Cabinet secretaries to hand over documents on voter mobilization 'scheme'

 A House committee is issuing subpoenas to 15 executive agencies in the Biden administration related to constitutional concerns with one of Biden’s executive orders and the departments' implementation.

In March 2021, Biden signed Promoting Access to Voting, which states that "executive departments and agencies should partner with State, local, Tribal, and territorial election officials to protect and promote the exercise of the right to vote, eliminate discrimination and other barriers to voting, and expand access to voter registration and accurate election information."

The plan has already come under scrutiny from Senate Republicans, who have called it a federal "voter mobilization" effort with "potentially partisan impacts."

Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the Committee on House Administration, is subpoenaing Biden’s 15 cabinet secretaries for their detailed plans for carrying out the order just five months out from the November election.

"The Committee has concerns about the implementation of E.O. 14019, particularly regarding its compatibility with provisions of the National Voter Registration Act (NRA) of 1993," Steil told the agencies in a subpoena letter.

"Congress delegates to federal agencies specific functions and missions, which by law they are required to follow. Congress's delegation of authority to HUD does not include using funds and resources to provide Americans with voter registration materials," he said.

"Moreover, E.O. 14019 requires every federal agency to submit a strategic plan outlining how the agency can promote voter registration and voter participation. 

"Over the last few months, some agencies have taken actions that were likely outlined in their strategic plans. Examples include the Department of Education's new federal work-study requirements, and the Small Business Administration's entrance into a voter registration agreement with Michigan," Steil explained. ..............

So, Republicans are afraid of voters?

?? No Republicans are trying to prevent another election from being stolen.  There needs to be some checks and balances put into place.  In this case, preventing DEMS from making agreements with entities to get people registered to vote DEM.

GOP could try to register voters, too.  More voter participation is a good thing.

The fact only about 6 states are going to decide is very concerning.

The dims will be emboldened to build on their 2020 steal success. With this narrowed scope to likely less than a quarter million voters?  I think we see a repeat.

One way to change things is for states to allocate electors based upon winners of house districts (like Nebraska, Maine) and overall winner gets senate electors.

Republicans would have the opportunity to snag a few electors in Dems states (New York, California).

Dems would have the opportunity to snag a few electors in the South, West, and Plains States.

We have political stagnation because there is a lack of sufficient competition for votes in non-swing states.

Dems don't even bother to campaign in Mass because they can take it for granted.  The DNC just sees Mass as an ATM.

Allocating electors like Maine and Nebraska means that every state has the potential to be a swing state again.

The DNC and RNC establishments will oppose this because it means no state is safe for the parties.

RINO snorts:
"So, Republicans are afraid of voters?"

Yes... if they are not properly registered
Yes... if they falsify mail-in ballots
Yes... if they are illegal "voters"
Yes... if they cast "provisional ballots" with bogus ID
Yes... if they are simply "dead voters"

Voting SHOULD NOT be "easy".
Au contraire, it should be involved and almost difficult.

I'm quite happy with "preventing" some people from voting.
Especially when they don't qualify to do so.

Registering to vote should at the very least require one to provide a birth certificate, or proof of citizenship. Just because you have a driver's license doesn't mean one is a legal citizen....

As for the voting process, go back to paper ballots and only one voting day. So what if people have to stand in long lines...if they truly want to cast their vote, they'll take the time to do so.
