Biden Still Hidin' Executive Order Marrying Feds, Progressive Orgs to Mobilize Millions of Voters

Stonewalled in 'Bidenbucks' oversight requests, congressional Republicans are taking aim at what they see as a de facto taxpayer-funded Democrat get-out-the-vote effort

Conservatives Fight Secretive Biden Voting Order as 'Bidenbucks' -- Federal 'Zuckbucks' on Steroids

In March of 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order directing every federal agency, more than 600 in all, to register and mobilize voters — particularly “people of color” and others the White House says face “challenges to exercise their fundamental right to vote.”

The entirety of the federal government was directed to coordinate with ostensibly “nonpartisan” third-party groups to develop and implement their associated plans.

Left-leaning think-tank Demos, which helped birth the order, estimates that if fully implemented it could generate 3.5 million new or updated voter registrations annually. Even a far more modest increase could dramatically impact the 2024 presidential election, considering recent contests have been decided by just thousands of votes in several states.

Republicans cried foul over the order, claiming it represented an unlawful if not unconstitutional federal takeover of elections. The directive, they fear, would codify a de facto taxpayer-funded Democrat get-out-the-vote effort, led by the feds and progressive activist groups — 2024’s “Bidenbucks” to 2020’s “Zuckbucks.”

As potentially impactful as the order may be, and as controversial as it has proven, one of the defining features of the story of Executive Order 14019 is how little we know about it.

The Biden administration’s disclosures about what it is doing to execute the order have been relatively scant. It has stonewalled in the face of congressional oversight and fought FOIA requests in litigation.

Today at RealClearInvestigations, I seek to unshroud the mysterious White House directive — reporting on what we know about it, what the Biden administration is withholding about it, and what Republicans are doing to combat it.
