Joe Biden’s administration is suddenly creating voter registration drives at citizenship ceremonies and they are doing it right in the middle of his campaign to be re-elected president.
This means federal agencies are acting on behalf of political parties and the authority for this is based on a legally questionable executive order from Biden back in 2021
Here’s more via Fox News:
The Biden administration on Friday rolled out new guidance to provide expanded access to voter registration during naturalization ceremonies of new U.S. citizens – part of a broader push by the federal government to increase voter registration that has raised concerns from Republicans.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it is updating its policy manual “to increase awareness and expand access to voter registration during naturalization ceremonies” at which eligible foreign nationals become U.S. citizens and are then able to vote in elections, including federal elections.
The new guidance “affirms that USCIS provides access to voter registration services at each administrative naturalization ceremony, including information regarding points-of-contact for voting and voter registration.”
It also tells officials that offices should request state or local government election offices attend ceremonies to distribute and collect registration applications. It says offices will coordinate with “non-partisan, non-governmental organizations” for such services when state and local government officials are not available.
Those organizations offering the services should have “the opportunity to introduce themselves and address the naturalization candidates before the ceremony.”
The new guidance originates from President Biden’s March 2021 executive order on “promoting access to voting” and orders agency heads to “evaluate ways in which the agency can, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, promote voter registration and voter participation.”
Republicans say Biden doesn’t have the authority to order federal agencies to engage in voter registration:
The broader multi-agency push launched by the executive order has caused controversy with some Republicans in Congress, who have expressed concern about federal overreach and have called for more information to be released by the administration. Republicans in the House had called for the strategic plan to be made public and argued that Biden “has no legal basis to order all federal agencies to engage in voter registration, nor does he have the authority to order any federal agency to engage in efforts to promote voter participation.”
Former Deputy DHS Assistant Secretary Michael Bars, who served in the Trump administration, told Fox News Digital that conservative lawmakers in the House should deny funding for what he called an “unlawful executive order directing federal agencies to conduct registration drives for partisan voter turnout, whereby political appointees are ostensibly deputized to register and mobilize voters.”
Joe Biden will do anything he can to get re-elected, whether it be weaponizing his DOJ to go after one of his opponents or use his federal government to begin running politically partisan voter registration drives.
The media has always tried to paint Donald Trump as a dictator who would do anything to stay in power. But here we have Joe Biden using his own federal government to help him get reelected and we wouldn’t even know about it but for Fox News.
