'Bidenbucks' Make 'Zuckbucks' Look Like Chump Change

Zuckbucks - the nickname for the $400 million-plus that Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, dumped into the 2020 elections - predominately flowed to Democrat-centric cities in battleground states such as Wisconsin.

As bad as Zuckbucks are, election integrity watchdogs say such private funds in elections pale in comparison to what President Joe Biden has wrought through the power of his pen.

New York-based Demos reportedly helped draft Biden's Executive Order 14019, which directs each federal agency head to develop a plan to "Promote voter registration and voter participation." As the Foundation for Government Accountability notes, Biden's fiat "Follows the same strategy" contained in a Demos policy paper.

"This is a coordinated effort from left-leaning third parties and the Biden administration to use executive power and taxpayer resources for the purpose of federalizing elections and taking power away from the states," said Chase Martin, legal affairs director at FGA. There are definitely some similarities between Zuckbucks and Bidenbucks.

The USDA's Food and Nutrition Service is working with state agencies that administer school breakfast and lunch programs to "Provide local program operators with promotional materials, including voter registration and non-partisan, non-campaign election information, to disseminate among voting-age program participants and their families." That includes promoting voter registration in school cafeterias to high school students turning 18 by Election Day and working with leftist groups in Democrat-rich cities.

The Department of Education recently announced a "Clarification" to its rules allowing the taxpayer-funded work-study program to be used to hire college students to register their peers to vote - one of the more reliable Democrat voting blocs.

My Federalist colleague Shawn Fleetwood has reported on several other ways the federal government is using Bidenbucks "To rig the 2024 election."
