In a 50-45 vote on Tuesday, Senate Democrats killed a GOP-backed amendment seeking to defund President Biden's executive interference in U.S. elections.
When pressed on Scott's absence, a representative from his office told The Federalist that the senator "Has been in constant communication with Senate leadership regarding his schedule," and excused his absence from Tuesday's vote by saying the "Amendment's guaranteed failure, with casting the tie breaking 'no' vote should those not voting have had been present, allowed the senator to keep his current schedule."
Signed by Biden in March 2021, Executive Order 14019 mandated that all federal agencies interfere in the electoral process by using taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities.
The North Carolina Republican further highlighted how Biden's order directing departments to collaborate with supposedly "Nonpartisan" third-party organizations to register new voters fails to specify "Which" groups and "By what criteria" they are to follow when fulfilling the edict.
As The Federalist has previously reported, voter registration efforts are almost always a partisan venture and often involve left-wing groups that abuse their nonprofit status to target likely-Democrat voters.
Budd's concerns about the federal government engaging in partisan voter registration appear to be warranted given the evidence obtained by conservative media outlets.
In August, the agency updated its Policy Manual to include provisions directing agency employees to "Increase awareness and expand access to voter registration during naturalization ceremonies," in which eligible immigrants officially become U.S. citizens.
