Inflation is at a 40-year high, an economic recession may be just around the corner, the president’s approval rating is plummeting, and the 2022 midterm elections are less than four months away. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
At least, that must be what the Biden administration is thinking. Why else would a U.S. president launch a thinly veiled get-out-the-vote campaign designed to give the Democrats an electoral advantage?
The president’s plan was outlined in Executive Order 14019, which ultimately directs all federal agencies to do what they can to increase voter registration and turnout, including by working with a select group of third-party organizations “approved” by the White House. Sounds harmless on its face, until you consider the fact that it is being carried out by political appointees whose job security literally depends on Democrats being reelected in 2022 and 2024, and that the person charged with collecting the plans and leading this effort is President Joe Biden’s domestic policy advisor, Susan Rice.
Even more concerning, when pressed for more information about these plans through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from the Foundation for Government Accountability, the Biden administration has opted to stay silent. If the plans are harmless, why not share them with Congress and the American people? It makes you wonder what they’re hiding.
But even without the details publicly outlined, it’s not difficult to see what the executive order hopes to accomplish. By interjecting the might of the federal government — and all of its taxpayer-funded offices and resources — into the state-run voter registration process, the Biden administration hopes to drive out the Democrat vote in both the midterm elections and for generations to come.
We’ve seen a similar scheme once before. Mark Zuckerberg and his wife funneled millions of dollars to state and local election officials for the administration of the 2020 election. And as it turns out, the vast majority of those dollars were spent in localities that ultimately voted for Joe Biden. The not-so-secret attempt to drive out Democrat votes through a targeted distribution of resources was seen as highly unethical. And thanks to a flurry of new laws passed in more than 20 states, it is now also illegal across much of the country. Yet now, these so-called “Zuckerbucks” have proven to be just a precursor to an even larger scheme: the president’s use of “Bidenbucks” — the use of taxpayer dollars to meet the same end.
Scheme Already Underway
Sadly, the scheme is already underway. Several federal agencies have initiated plans to designate their state offices as voting registration agencies, including the U.S. Department of Labor’s 2,300 American Job Centers. But it’s imperative that these centers remain non-partisan — free from even the appearance of becoming “vote mills” that churn out political support in exchange for work.
The same should go for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has also announced plans to designate Public Housing Agencies as voting registration agencies. “Votes in exchange for benefits” should not be the slogan of any federal agency.
Court Orders the Administration to Release Info
There is good news, though. The Biden administration’s plans have not gone unnoticed. The Foundation for Government Accountability has filed a lawsuit to compel the U.S. Department of Justice to respond to our initial FOIA requests. Last week, the Federal District Court ordered the DOJ to provide us all requested documents required under the FOIA request before the midterm elections.
Also, legislation has recently been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to prevent the Biden administration’s plans to take over state-run elections from moving forward. The legislation, introduced by Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., would prohibit federal agencies from using federal funding to carry out any plans to comply with the president’s order to use the immense resources of federal agencies and their state offices to carry out an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort designed to benefit the left.
It will also prohibit agencies from partnering with politically like-minded outside groups hand-selected by Susan Rice to carry out Executive Order 14019. While it’s unlikely that it would become law before the upcoming election, this legislation is an important step toward ensuring our elections are free, fair, and secured against unconstitutional influence — in this case, from the White House itself.
President Biden may be feeling the pressure build as his economic policies have continued to fall flat with the American people, but that does not justify an illegal executive power grab to attempt to keep his party, and himself, in control. And executive branch attempts to systematically affect elections for generations to come must be stopped at both the state and federal level.

My concern is that this will be ‘ too little, too late’. Once again, conservatives are responding to aggressive Leftist behavior. We need to be on constant offense- our elected representatives should be on the offense every day in meaningful ways to win. As Hungarian President Orban said at CPAC conference, we must play to WIN- this s for all the marbles ( our beloved nation).
“Inflation at a 40 year high” and Jackass Joe says: “What? Me worry?” . . . After all, if they could install a winning Election cheating system even while Trump was President, what makes you think they haven’t been working on perfecting it when they are in power and have no oversight? . . . And i predict that Rino Mitch McConnell will express his phony outrage when it again happens and We the People are screwed once again and perhaps forever!
It is another law broken by a party of law breakers the Democrats and just another reason that will lead to a new revolution to remove the socialist and law breakers in our government.
Executive orders have gotten way out of hand…..if you can’t get a law passed by congress….tuff $hit!
Wow! the democrats are getting more and more desperate to preserve their power by the day. Did it ever occur to them that if can’t win without cheating, that maybe it’s their AGENDA that’s the problem? Or are they really that out of touch with the American people and reality? If I wanted to live in a third world Marxist hellhole (which is what the democrats are turning this country into), I would pack up and move to one. I have absolutely no interest in having that garbage brought here.
If you can’t see the absolute evil in Washington D.C., you are just as blind as the rest of the Marxist supporters. If we can’t turn this around, we will be run by “executive orders”. And, please don’t call Grandpa Joe “president” it make my stomach churn.
The country is in deep s__t, yet this is what we get?! MORE OF THE SAME?!! Just what kind of deal did the thieves running the show make with Manchin? It is incredible to me, with all the information/proof available re gubmint spending and overspending, that THIS seems like a good idea to them. “Inconceivable!”
if the demoncrats are involved it has to be illegal. hisory proves this to be normal for them!
This memo was issued to government agencies back on March of 2021 and given 200 days to develop plans supporting this EO… to-date none of those plans have been made public. However, there have been numerous reports of actions by some of these agencies. For example, voter registration efforts in federal facilities located in dense Democratic communities.
Don’t forget that HILLDOG clinton Feminist Queen Man Hater is working on RIGGING ALL Local Election Boards across the country. Just like DICTATOR Beijing biden is doing with his ILLEGAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL executive orders.
CRUSH ALL FASCIST liberals that try to RIG Elections including DICTATOR Beijing biden.
And the IRS does NOT need $80 BILLION of OUR TAX DOLLARS to be supersized.
Lol!!! Did anyone seriously think the Democrats would abandon the winning formula that secured them both the Presidency and the U.S. Senate? Think! Why on earth would they? It worked twice for them in 2020 and 2021, so why wouldn’t they do everything in their power to repeat the same process in each succeeding election cycle? Especially when they encountered no meaningful resistance in either previous case.
A few states cleaned up and better secured their voting systems, but many have done little to nothing. Now there is no more time left for any state legislatures to proactively address the issue before the midterms. Sitting on one’s hands, as many states have chosen to do for various reasons mostly political, and choosing to ignore or even acknowledge the problem doesn’t make the problem magically go away. The problem still comes back to bite one in the a$$ just as it did before.
sounds like using the government funds to promote democrat votes to me. but- it is THE DEMOCRAT WAY.
How can this be legal? I hope conservative groups are planning to sue.
the dems STEAL the 2020 election to gain absolute power . Since not a single person has been INDICTED for election FRAUD and stealing the 2020 presidential election, the dems will AGAIN STEAL the 2022 election and REMAIN in power to TRASH this country has they have been doing since 2021. FJB and F ALL the dems in power. The voting has been already RIGGED so it does not matter how you vote The dems will STILL control the house and senate and presidency., come Nov 2022. STEALING this country ISD their agenda, and IT will result in a civil conflict Dec 2022. imo
My main concern are the voting registration cards they gave out to all these illegal aliens that have crossed our southern borders during the past two years. WHY were they given these? They aren’t naturalized citizens. They aren’t supposed to be able to vote yet. They shouldn’t even have these cards yet. Yet, they were given these in their packets. It’s obvious it’s to steal another election, but how?
Can you say “DESPERATE”…..beware of all the cheating that’s gona happen now. If Republicans don’t win both the house and senate you can kiss America as we know it GOODBYE. This is not a slam dunk by any means so conservatives should get out and vote no matter what. The only chance we have to win is by numbers…lesson learned by the last election….I hope. Get out and volunteer at the pet and wherever to make our presence known
ARREST THE WHOLE biden administration for treason and murder!
Democrats cannot win without massive cheating. Rather than align their policies with the will of the American people. They have simply become Masters of Fraud. You can’t blame them. It’s worked very well for them so far.
Is there not already a federal law prohibiting ANY election work by current federal employees? Even elected members of Congress may not use their franking privileges (free mailing) for campaign materials. Or at least that USED to be the case…..
The recently introduced legislation to prevent this will go nowhere in the democrat-controlled House. Ignoring that bit of reality was a mistake.
As Uncle Joe says “Come on man” . Stop playing softball in a hardball game . You ask to see what they are doing , won’t give you an answer and three years later you get a court order ?? Find an individual that has a pair and leak it out to everybody. Say Zuckerpuss won’t publish and follow up story get a conservative outlet to let America decide play the same game they are COME ON MAN !!
I have often said that everything this clown show administration touches, it screws up.
Well, I may have to amend that opinion.
If it comes down to corruption, they do seem to get that right, admirably.
fjb etc etc
Biden’s directive to get out the vote is more dire to the DemocRat Party than normal. Even the news media can’t defend the ineptitude of Biden and the DemocRats to properly run the Nation. All they can do is double-down on rigging the election. And that is the hidden message of Biden to fellow Democrats. It should be easier for them to do with Biden in control of the Executive Branch and both the H of R and the Senate. Expect to see late-minute barrages of pro-Democrat ballots come in very late in the voting period.
When you have lost the civil right to participate in unrigged honest election, you have morphed into a hostage to a form of Communism … in this case, the DemocRat Party.
I thought executive orders were for emergencies. Biden is handing them out like drinks of water.
Rerun 2020 BUT better organized??
JUST ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE CANCEROUS, ANTI-AMERICAN, LYING, CHEATING, libs DESTROYING OUR NATION
The Federal District Court made a BIG mistake when they gave the DOJ all the time up to “before the midterm elections”!!! That doesn’t give the Foundation for Government Accountability time to go over all the records before the elections!! Why didn’t they give the DOJ a deadline like “by the end of August”?? Sounds like there’s still some conniving going on there!
My Pillow guy (Mike) claimed Idaho had election fraud in 2020 & he was wrong + the State of Idaho voted for Trump in 2020. Conspiracy theories do not do much for America in my opinion.
The Democrat Party and DNC needs to be unaccredited as a Political Party and put out of business for this conflict of interest by using government agencies to do their political dirty work.
Amid all of the flurry of Biden’s onerous Executive Orders and bills in the House and Senate it appears to me that our best weapon to date has been lawsuits. We must make sure that we, the people do not allow the federal government to in ANY way influence the election process in the states. We have to block every effort by the Biden Administration and current House and Senate from stealing yet another election, period!
As it has been said, Bozo and the DemonRats excel in corruption.
So, while we are aware, and the US House of Representatives has introduced legislation to prevent the Biden administration’s plans to take over state-run elections from moving forward.
Great!
Now, what are we all going to do when (amazingly) the DemonRats landslide win the midterms? And the DemonRats essentially take over the country?
I guess we could all continue to scream that Trump actually won in 2020.
We could scream that the midterms were truly won by the Republicans.
Or…we could genuinely demand legitimate vote of the body of citizens to the exercise of power.
THE American Revolution was instigated on Far, Far Lesser terms.
If the DFems. win big during midtermsd and 24, lookout insurection . Face it folks thisncan happen just like anyother country. WEe n4ed a revolt t0 turn this country around. Kyle L.
The Dem motto. If at first you succeed, do it again, and again, and again.
Deport “Suckerberg,Sonos etc to Israel,seize their assets and use to feed starving Jewish people.That way Mike Huckabee won’t have to keep begging!
I’m sick & tired of ALL Bidens lies!!!! Plus now he wants to steal more money from us citizens to bail out the mess he has made. NO MORE TAXES!!!!!!
14019—HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME AND NOW SUDDENLY SOMEONE TAKES NOTICE??? FEDERALIZE ELECTIONS PAID FOR WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS????? GET OUT FROM UNDER YOUR ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!! AMAC AWAKEN!!!!!!!!!
While all this about Biden is going on and center stage what is the rest of the snake pit doing ? Sounds like a diversion to me Who do we arrest, beat up, drag into court who???? If the election is cheated. Read on Fox aircraft carrier Fleet sent to Taiwan because Pelosi
Is on the way. Think about it. China attacks carrier fleet war is warming up Biden gets Marshal Law enforced in U S A. No election z. Dems stay in power and work to destroy country even more Poor, Hungary ,people living off govt don’t make wave,ask questions lead uprising.If we are going to survive it has to be now We must know who to drag out of the swamp and have leaders todo it .Nothing illegal just removing traitors from threatening our country and constitution . God help us if we don’t
You’ll never convince me 2020 was not rigged. If I was wealthy, and I’m not I’d put $100,000 down in Vegas on a rigged midterm coming this November. The republicans have done squat to insure a fair and legal election while Biden has flooded the lower courts with liberal judges and the cocky demeaner Pelosi and the liberal democrats walk the halls of DC with insure they WILL RIG November. I have no faith in our elections, and I believe that our country will officially perish in November. With the rhinos siding with the liberals for power we are screwed.
It’s been Susan Rice all along, folks. Joe Biden’s dementia prevents him from coherent thought. No way he came up with this corrupt executive order. Heck, why not just issue an executive order declaring that ALL federal employees and retirees are required to vote for democrats. Same thing. There’s that unionism again, eh? DOJ is in the primary tank of every septic system nationwide. DOJ stinks of treason. And, nothing and no one can do a thing about it. Next president will be a liberal democrat and, what used to be the People’s House will remain the House of Insanity.
All government agencies should not be involved in get out the vote schemes. If people are not interested enough to voluntarily go register and inform themselves on the issues the best thing they can do is stay home.
Do not trust Any Politicians anymore. We are fighting Evil; only deep intensive spiritual warfare & GOD’s intervention will help now.
They had to cheat to get in, and they know they’ll have to cheat to stay in.
This is such an unethical affront to our republic it must be challenged in the Supreme Court, Exec. Order or law. And we the taxpayers have to pay for this? I am furious and hope those more powerful and in the center of things will bring this to general public’s attention and fight it like Hell. It is a complete subversion of our democracy and typical of Biden and his admin, especially the Liar for Hire, Susan Rice.
They have the reins, they will guide the wagon.
Watch the RATS, they are desperate with everything they have tried landing in the toilet! The November elections are critical for the life of our country!
Congress has to stop Biden and his administration from trying to mess up the midterm election and the 2024 election. The American citizens are watching every move you Democrats make and let me tell you, we have our ways of finding things out.
If you really love AMERICA,vote the democRATS out,way out.They have destroyed most of AMERICA’S values.
The administration must not interfere with state guidelines in each state. This executive order amounts to high crimes, against state regulations.
