Biden's push of Mail-In ballots

Behind Massive Mail-in Ballot Push Is a Little-Noticed Executive Order

Joe's behind in the polls thus the push of mail-in ballots wherever he can get them

The federal government is using its vast resources and its largest agencies to register new voters and expand mail-in balloting, with the help of nonprofits.

A federal effort to register voters using the government’s vast reach, including throughout the U.S. prison system, is raising concerns from critics who have said it won’t benefit Democrats and Republicans equally.

Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on March 6 alleging that agencies under the attorney general’s charge are “attempting to register people to vote, including potentially ineligible felons, and to co-opt state and local officials into accomplishing this goal.”

The allegation relates to President Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019, which states, “The head of each agency shall evaluate ways in which the agency can, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, promote voter registration and voter participation.”

Among other things, this order has forced U.S. Marshals to modify more than 900 contracts with prisons and jails to provide voter registration documents and facilitate mail-in voting for inmates, Mr. Watson wrote. “We have worked extremely hard to restore the confidence of Mississippi voters in our election process,” Mr. Watson told The Epoch Times.

“To have the Biden administration and the DOJ purposefully undermine these efforts and jeopardize the integrity of Mississippi’s elections is unacceptable.”

You know, of course, that the RNC is pushing mail-in ballots, too, right? In fact, they're calling it one of their top priorities.

Of course you know that because you're so smart.

This was about Biden pushing mail in ballots in the U.S. prison system.
The RNC is shuttering a program dedicated to mail-in voting, according to The Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/12/rnc-trump-firings-takeover/

But then you probably already know that.

What's "hilarious" is Democrats.
