On Tuesday, The Daily Signal<\/a> posted an article about the collaboration between the federal government and left-leaning get-out-the-vote organizations.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working with a left-wing advocacy group to boost voter turnout as part of\u00a0President Joe Biden\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0executive order directing federal agencies to get involved in elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The USDA worked directly with Demos, a New York-based group that\u00a0helped draft Biden\u2019s Executive Order 14019<\/a>, according to records obtained by The Heritage Foundation\u2019s Oversight Project. (The Daily Signal is Heritage\u2019s news outlet.)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden signed his order on agencies and voter registration in March 2021. On Aug. 9, 2021, Demos\u2019 Adam Lioz emailed USDA officials, many in the office of Secretary Tom Vilsack, under the subject line: \u201cDemos Meeting on Voting Rights EO.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTeam USDA, with apologies for the delay, I wanted to follow up and thank you all for all your time and a productive conversation,\u201d wrote Lioz, who was Demos\u2019 senior counsel and political director before departing in September 2021. \u201cAs we noted, we\u2019ll have our \u2018best practices\u2019 slides ready in the next 1-2 weeks and in the meantime, y\u2019all had asked for data on\u00a0voter registration<\/a>\u00a0at the state level, which I\u2019ve pasted below.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just for the record, the Hatch Act of 1939 prohibits civil servants in the Executive Branch of government (except the President and Vice-President) from engaging in some forms of political activity. The goal of the law is to stop the federal government from affecting elections or going about its activities in a partisan manner.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s initiative includes the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s registration of voters during naturalization ceremonies, the Department of Education\u2019s promotion of voting at high schools and colleges, and agencies\u2019 work with private, nonprofit organizations to increase voter turnout.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many\u00a0congressional Republicans<\/a>\u00a0have joined government watchdog groups in expressing concern about agencies\u2019 engaging in partisan political activity under Biden\u2019s executive order, in violation of laws such as the Hatch Act.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The records obtained by Heritage\u2019s Oversight Project include the USDA\u2019s directions to employees on how to avoid violating the Hatch Act.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither the Department of Agriculture nor Demos responded to inquiries from The Daily Signal before publication of this report.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The effort to steal the 2024 election has already begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
