Joe Biden’s Executive Order on Voting Tells Agencies to Push Vote-by-Mail, ‘Combat Misinformation’

Joel B. Pollak 7 Mar 2021

President Joe Biden issued an executive order on “access to voting” on Sunday that instructs federal government agencies to promote voter registration, help Americans apply to vote by mail, and “combat misinformation,” among other measures.

The “Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting” reads like a Democratic Party wish-list of “reforms” that enshrines many of the practices that were adopted on a temporary basis during the pandemic-affected 2020 election. Its provisions include:


    using federal agencies to promote voter registration;
    using federal agencies to inform Americans about voting;
    linking federal agency websites to state voter registration websites;
    providing voter registration and vote-by-mail applications;
    using “approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations” to register voters at federal agencies;
    using identification documents issued by the agency to help people register to vote;
    providing more multilingual services to potential voters;
    giving public employees “time off to vote in Federal, State, local, Tribal, and territorial elections”; and
    promoting voter registration for federal prisoners.


One provision states: “It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to expand access to, and education about, voter registration and election information, and to combat misinformation, in order to enable all eligible Americans to participate in our democracy.”

Legitimate (and accurate) news stories on the business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, were suppressed by social media companies and mainstream media outlets during the 2020 election under the guise of fighting such “misinformation.”

The list of measures in the Executive Order parallels those included in Democrats’ legislation, H.R. 1, the “For the People Act,” which intends to override state measures that bolster ballot integrity. H.R. 1 recently passed the Democrat-run House.

The list also appears aimed at providing opportunities for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to pursue legal action against states that have photo identification requirements for voting, or that remove ineligible voters from the rolls.

Should have fought for Trump and his voters.

It is the states legislatures that are responsible for voting processes. Not the feds.

At least until this "For the People" Act supersedes such responsibility.

This is a big, BIG deal, and there are all sorts of provisions buried in it to give the communists full control over elections -- ALL elections, federal, state, municipal, ALL of them.

There's even a provision that seeks to bar any legal challenges against the law, unless those challenges are presented before ONE particular court in D.C.

I wonder if the putsch to drive this one through the Senate will become the impetus for ending the filibuster there...?

No kidding. There was a moment when the fight was winnable - all that was needed was a unified front.

That moment has passed. The line has broken and we're in full retreat.

I could be wrong but for them to push HR1 through it would have to be by Constitutional Ammendment. The Constitution spells out the voting processes. We all know the democrats don't care about the Constitution though.

Wish I could argue with you @skeeter   -- but I can't.

I wish there were an argument to be made.
