The Biden administration, known for its lack of transparency, is facing scrutiny from lawmakers over its use of federal agencies for a massive voter registration campaign called “Bidenbucks.” Senator Joni Ernst and Representative Roger Williams have demanded answers regarding the Small Business Administration’s involvement in voter registration efforts in Michigan, a swing state crucial in upcoming elections.
The partnership between Michigan and the SBA is part of Executive Order 14019, which aims to increase voter registration and turnout, particularly among left-leaning voters. Critics argue that this executive order infringes on states’ rights to conduct elections without federal interference.
Lawmakers have subpoenaed SBA officials after they failed to comply with requests for information. The ongoing investigation seeks to uncover the extent of the SBA’s involvement in political activities. A federal lawsuit filed by Pennsylvania lawmakers challenges the constitutionality of Biden’s executive order.
Despite repeated requests for transparency, the Biden administration continues to withhold information, raising suspicions about what they may be hiding. The Foundation for Government Accountability has been fighting for access to public records related to these activities for over two years.
The lack of cooperation from the Department of Justice in providing documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act further adds to concerns about the administration’s transparency. Lawmakers and watchdog groups are determined to uncover the truth behind Biden’s use of federal agencies for political purposes.
