‘The public deserves answers . particularly as VP Harris becomes the new nominee,’ Rep. Bryan Steil said.
President Joe Biden may have left the presidential race, but “Bidenbucks” lives on.
And you can bet your federal tax bill that the Biden administration will be revving up the taxpayer-funded, get-out-the-vote machine for not-so-accidental candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I think they definitely will,” Hans von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission and manager of the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative, told me in an interview this week. “I think what they’re doing is an unlawful use of federal taxpayer dollars, and I don’t think any president has the right to do it.”
Documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project expose federal agencies working with left-wing activist groups in targeting traditionally Democrat voters to cast mail-in ballots for Biden’s No. 2 in November’s election. And there appears no slowdown in the constitutionally suspect initiative now that Biden has withdrawn from his reelection run and endorsed his leftist lieutenant.
“We have published thousands of records showing this is a mass mobilization of the federal government to enhance and advance the presidential reelection effort,” Kyle Brosnan, chief legal counsel for the Oversight Project told me in a recent interview.
The initiative runs a microsite containing the trove of records it has contained in pursuit of tracking Biden’s Executive Order 14019. Signed soon after the Democrat took office in 2021, the order is innocuously billed as “Promoting Access to Voting.” But as government watchdogs like The Federalist and the Heritage Foundation have uncovered, the sweeping directive is oozing with partisanship. Radical ‘Helpers’
Critics have called it Bidenbucks, a nod to the hundreds of millions of dollars in so-called election administration grants funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg during the Covid-captive 2020 election. The brunt of those grants went to Democrat cities to help target left-leaning voters. As I reported earlier this year, however, Bidenbucks is making “Zuckbucks” look like chump change.
