Biden tapping tax dollars to boost Dem registration, turnout, warn House GOP, voting watchdog

 With midterm elections just around the corner, congressional Republicans and election watchdogs are sounding alarms that the Biden administration and left-leaning nonprofits may be tapping taxpayer dollars and tax-exempt funds, respectively, to boost voter registration and turnout among Democratic constituencies under the guise of protecting "democracy."

Hatch Act concerns

• The Hatch Act prohibits covered federal employees from using their official titles or positions while participating in political activity, which is defined as "activity directed at the success or failure of a political party, partisan political group, or candidate for partisan political office."
• It is unclear how the departments will ensure that federal employees won't violate the Hatch Act in implementing the executive order.

Biden is using taxpayer money under the pretext of democratic participation

• Biden is revving up his reelection campaign with federal agencies
• The effort is funded with "Biden Bucks"
• Similar to "Zuckerbucks," the approximately $400 million from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg widely alleged to have been funneled through left-leaning nonprofits to turn out the Democratic vote in the 2020 presidential election

If the intent behind the executive order is to target a voter profile that benefits one political party at the expense of another, then it violates a range of laws

• The administration, however, is "trying to disguise" its intent
• There is no reason to believe that left-leaning nonprofits will not attempt to turn out more Democratic voters in 2020 than they did in 2020

Election laws specify what is prohibited, but not what the remedy should be when they're violated

• Only candidates, not voters' groups, have standing to bring election lawsuits.
• "Concrete harm" is the threshold for standing, which means lawsuits can't be filed until after elections
• A lawsuit can succeed only with strong evidence of specific intent based on "much more information than what we have right now"
• Biden's executive order regarding voter registration is nearly identical to a federal election takeover plan crafted by the radical left-leaning group known as Demos
