In what amounts to a glaring example of political maneuvering, the Biden administration appears to be leveraging the entire machinery of the federal government to influence the upcoming 2024 elections. This dubious strategy unfolds through President Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019, which ostensibly aims to boost voter turnout by enlisting federal agencies to collaborate with predominantly left-leaning organizations.
The House Administration Committee has escalated its scrutiny into this matter by subpoenaing 15 Cabinet members. The concern here is profound: the administration’s order not only blurs the sacred line between nonpartisan election administration and partisan activity but also raises significant legal and ethical questions.
Many view this as a desperate ploy—dubbed “Bidenbucks”—to sway electoral outcomes by embedding partisan activities within the federal framework supposedly meant for public service. The entanglement of agencies with groups like the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and entities linked to George Soros and Stacey Abrams underlines a disturbing trend toward politicizing bureaucratic operations.
As if to underscore the administration’s skewed priorities, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has been co-opted into this scheme, diverting its focus from pressing issues like inflation and capital access to voter registration drives in pivotal swing states. This move, revealed during a House Committee on Small Business hearing, exemplifies how the administration’s electoral meddling diverts vital resources from critical public services.
The opacity surrounding the implementation of this executive order is as troubling as the order itself. If the administration’s intentions were as pure as they claim, centered on promoting voter accessibility, why the secrecy? Why the resistance to disclose the full extent and nature of these partnerships and activities?
The lack of transparency is a red flag, signaling a profound disrespect for the principles of democratic accountability and the rule of law. It’s high time we call this what it is: an abuse of executive power in a perilous bid to cling to control. As we edge closer to the 2024 elections, such actions not only undermine public trust in our electoral process but also endanger the very fabric of our republic.
