Republicans Move To Curb Biden’s Federal Interference In Elections

Congressional Republicans introduced legislation on Tuesday designed to combat President Joe Biden’s attempts to insert the federal government into state and local elections.

Introduced by Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York, the Promoting Free and Fair Elections Act seeks to defang Biden’s March 2021 executive order that required federal agencies to interfere in the electoral process by using taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities. As The Federalist previously reported, voter registration efforts are almost always a partisan venture and often involve left-wing groups that abuse their nonprofit status to target likely-Democrat voters.

Tenney’s bill would prohibit federal agencies from using federal funds to “solicit or enter into an agreement with a nongovernmental organization to conduct voter registration or voter mobilization activities.” The measure defines “voter registration or voter mobilization activities” as actions related to “registering voters or providing any person with voter registration materials, absentee or vote-by-mail ballot applications, voting instructions, or candidate-related information.”

Notably, the legislation would also mandate that federal departments turn over to Congress their respective “strategic plan[s]” documenting how they intended to comply with Biden’s order. Despite attempts by good government groups to acquire these plans, the Biden administration has routinely stonewalled such efforts by slow-walking its response to federal court orders and heavily redacting any related documents it has released.

The Promoting Free and Fair Elections Act would furthermore amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to bar public universities from using taxpayer-funded Federal Work Study programs to pay college students to engage in voter registration campaigns. In April 2022, the Biden administration told colleges they could use work study funds — which are used to provide part-time campus jobs to help students with tuition costs — to partake in such activities.

Our American Constitutional Republic, that has beget the greatest nation ever, was designed to serve a self-governing people with virtuous leaders.
Then came “obama.”
THE END.

Only a virtuous people and a virtuous nation can prevail over the multi headed Hydra of Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, Garland, Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco, the media, “black mayor, black mayor, black mayor,” and the “obama” ‘s.
Not Sodom and Gomorrah.

Maybe the American national election system has been so thoroughly corrupted by the higher up powers of the evil and American hating men ,as George Soros among others, that the damage done to it is so severe that objective and fair election reform might not be possible.

I hope that I’m wrong about this, Nevertheless Abraham Lincoln had , had a valid point , said when he said “You can’t unscramble eggs.”

it’s terrible , but it might be that American election system has become so terrible corrupted and crooked by the wicked people in power that the damage done might be irreversible. and that genuine election reform cannot be accomplished.

As the Bible reads ” What is crooked cannot be made straight…” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.K.J.V]
