Is the Biden administration meddling with the Mid-term elections


Just yesterday Shawn Fleetwood of The Federalist reported that Biden's Department of Justice is delaying its handover of records relating to Biden's executive order from March 2021. The records were requested by a federal court 

Biden's Executive Order 14019, asked all 600 federal agencies to “consider ways to expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process.”

Was Biden misusing the federal government to conduct an unconstitutional “get out the vote” effort? 

Many groups including GOP members demanded more details about the scope of Biden’s order, but those demands fell on deaf ears.

Some state officials demanded that the Executive Order be summarily rescinded.

The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) filed several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests relating to the order. The FGA sued the DOJ back in April after its officials failed to respond. Finally, the DOJ handed over some of its records to FGA just last month

As expected the documents were heavily redactedThis is a standard ploy when governments want to conceal information from the public. Also absent was the DOJ’s 15-page “strategic plan” on how the agency intends to comply with Biden’s executive order.

In response to the court order, the DOJ filed a motion for summary judgment with the U.S. Middle District Court of Florida in an attempt to conceal communication records related to Executive Order 14019.

In their legal filing, Biden’s DOJ argued that its Civil Rights Division (CRT) “has submitted a reasonably specific declaration” in response to FGA’s request.

They also cited the following reason for redacting and withholding certain documents:

“The presidential communications privilege applies to the Strategic Plan because it was ‘solicited and received by the President[’s] . . . immediate White House advisers with broad and significant responsibility for investigating and formulating the advice to be given the President’ regarding voting rights issues. The Strategic Plan, therefore, falls squarely within the scope of the presidential communications privilege.”

Another ludicrous excuse was that disclosure would reveal “a full range of options, plans, or propositions for future potential actions” and could cause public confusion” because "it contains many proposed actions that the public might construe as future commitments, past actions, or provisions already in place.”

First, they redact and withhold, then they claim “presidential communications privilege”, when all flimsy excuses are exhausted they blame the citizens for being too vacuous to understand their documents.

Going down the lane of absurdity, they could claim that foreign (Russian) agents are out to compromise the integrity of US elections hence secrecy is essential. 

Recent polling from ABC/Ipsos shows that an astounding 41 percent of Americans, across party lines, are not confident about the integrity of the country’s elections. 

They have good reason to be concerned.

The previous election i.e. 2020 Presidential election was compromised on many levels.

Big media and big tech colluded to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. A poll showed that nearly four of five Americans believe that “truthful” coverage would have changed the outcome of that election.

Mark Zuckerberg spent $419 million which enabled far-left activists to infiltrate sacrosanct electoral infrastructure. It also led to a campaign to push for mail-in voting.

Many states altered their voting procedures mere months prior to the election citing the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse. Mass ballot harvesting and widespread vote-by-mail resulted in many accounts of misplaced, displaced, duplicate and fraudulent ballots.

In the end, an unprecedented 69% of voters cast their votes either by mail and/or before Election Day.

“This is merely an effort to encourage maximum participation. No reason for panic” is how an MSNBC pundit could respond angrily.

The question is whom among the electorate will they target?

What if they conduct registration drives for only those groups that are likely to vote Democrats?

What if they register pro-Democrat non-citizens? 

What if voter identification is made optional?  

What if there is subliminal pro-Democrat messaging during the registration drives – talk about climate change, abortion, BLM, etc.?

What if the government collaborates with private organizations to facilitate transportation to the polling booth on election day? They could claim it is for select impoverished areas and only for the elderly and the disabled. But who decides which areas apply?

What if the government engages in door-to-door visits for document verification for certain groups of voters? Once the verification is complete, the citizens are paid visits by activists who engage in campaign talk

What if the government targets those Democrat voters who are disgusted by Biden’s misgovernance and hence decide to abstain from voting?

In a Democracy, voting is a right, a right doesn’t always have to be exercised. A voter can register a protest by not voting. The question is will Biden officials hound these people and compel them to vote.

Will mail-in votes still be allowed and will federal agents or 'activists' assist people in filling their mail ballots?

The government can shut down all questions by being transparent.

But they are engaging in obfuscation and delay tactics, which is most troubling.

People have a right to be concerned.

Democrats only consider those elections valid where they win. When they lose, it is either the Russians or low-information or bigoted MAGA voters.

We also know that when matters go against the Democrat's wishes merely alter sacrosanct rules that have existed for ages.

When Trump won the election in 2016, instead of accepting the results and introspecting, they rejected the results. They claimed Trump won by colluding with Russia. They managed the appointment of a special despite the GOP being in control of both the Senate, the House, and the White House. The probe proceeded for under two years and hung like a sword over the Trump administration. It probably cost the GOP the House in 2019.

When the Democrats lost twice to George W. Bush, they talked about abandoning the Electoral College. This talk revived in 2016 as well.

Biden i.e. his Democrat handlers have misused the federal government agencies to hound and persecute President Trump. Never before has a former president been targeted in such a manner.

When social media platforms provided a forum for citizens to express themselves freely and challenge their government, they colluded with Big Tech to suppress dissenting views.

The media openly operates like the PR wing for the Democrats while government agencies have been politized and compromised.

The list of systemic changes the Democrats have either accomplished or are attempting is endless.

The poll numbers and the mood of the nation show that the Democrats are on track to receive a routing during the midterms. The only way the Democrats can retain power is to meddle with the rules and play foul behind the scenes.

The Democrats know that retaining power in the legislative branch is the only way to prevent Trump from running in 2024 and to prevent investigations regarding Biden's scandals and misgovernance, Fauci and so many other instances of Democrat abuse of power and corruption

If history has taught us anything, it is not a question of it but how the Democrats will meddle in the elections.
