STATE LAWMAKERS PUSH BACK ON
‘BIDEN BUCKS’ ELECTION EXECUTIVE ORDER
By Fred Lucas
 
STATE LAWMAKERS ARE PUSHING BACK AGAINST A CONTROVERSIAL "ALL-OF-
GOVERNMENT" EXECUTIVE ORDER BY PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO "PROMOTE VOTER
REGISTRATION AND VOTER PARTICIPATION," AS ELECTIONS HAVE TRADITIONALLY
BEEN RUN BY STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS.
 
On June 2, the Louisiana state Senate voted 35-0 to give final
approval to a bill requiring election officials that get federal
directives or guidance to notify the governor and state legislative
leaders before implementing the policies — unless those policies are
part of federal or state law. The bill now goes to Democratic Gov. Jon
Bel Edwards.
 
The Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature passed similar
legislation, but Democratic Gov. Tony Evers vetoed it in April.
 
Also, in May, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner sent a
letter to Biden asking him to rescind the March 2021 executive order
that called for every federal agency to work on expanding voter
participation.
 
BIDEN'S EXECUTIVE ORDER MADE FEDERAL AGENCIES CONDUCT VOTER
REGISTRATION 'SCHEME': REPUBLICANS
 
"The executive order is a not-so-subtle effort to accomplish policies
that have not progressed through the legitimate and appropriate
legislative process by using unconstitutional executive overreach,"
Warner wrote. "The federal government’s overreach into this function
of state government is unnecessary, unprecedented, and
unconstitutional."
 
In 2021, Biden backed congressional Democrat House-passed bills to
restrict state voter ID laws, require states to allow same-day voter
registration, and expand mail-in voting. But the legislation died from
a Senate filibuster.
 
State legislatures in Missouri and Mississippi considered such
legislation, but it did not pass.
 
"These states have taken the lead and we think other states should do
the same," Stewart Whitson, legal director for the watchdog group
Foundation for Government Accountability, told Fox News Digital. "It
is so important the state legislatures step up and fight back."
 
The foundation, which has advocated for state officials to counter
Biden’s executive order since last year, released a report last week
comparing the Biden administration initiative to the nearly $400
million in election administration grants by Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg that many Republicans contend targeted Democrat turnout in
the 2020 election.

"THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS SEEKING TO LEVERAGE THE POWER AND
RESOURCES OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DO WHAT ZUCKERBUCKS DID DURING
THE 2020 ELECTION, ONLY ON A MUCH LARGER SCALE. Instead of
Zuckerbucks, it’s Bidenbucks," said an FGA report issued titled
"STATES MUST STAND GUARD AGAINST OUTSIDE INFLUENCE IN ELECTIONS." It
goes on to add, "Threats from outside influence in state election
administration, especially federal overreach, are real and on the
rise, underscoring the need for policymakers to act." 
 
State legislatures should also play a role, the FGA adds.

CASTING BALLOTS
 
"State lawmakers also have an important role to play in checking the
power of the president and stopping this effort to sidestep state
election laws," the state legislature.
 
"THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO PASS LEGISLATION THAT GRANTS THE STATE
OVERSIGHT AND APPROVAL AUTHORITY OVER THREE KEY AREAS OF FEDERAL
EXECUTIVE BRANCH ELECTION MEDDLING: GUIDANCE, COMMUNICATIONS, AND
FUNDING."
 
Federal agencies released various plans to implement Biden's executive
order:
 
The FGA report contends election administration should be left to
state and local governments, and in some cases, acts of Congress.
 
"NOWHERE IS THE PRESIDENT GRANTED AUTHORITY TO INTERFERE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION OF ELECTIONS, YET THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION IS ATTEMPTING TO DO THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDER AND AGENCY
GUIDANCE," THE REPORT STATES.
 
"Secretaries of state and other state election officials can sound the
alarm to make local election officials aware of these efforts, and
ensure they are given the information and resources they need to
comply with state election rules and procedures," the FGA report
continues. "In addition, state attorneys general can provide election
administrators with legal advice to help them avoid inadvertently
violating state election law based on misguidance provided by the
federal government."
 
The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital's requests for
comment on this story.
 
HERITAGE FOUNDATION TAKES VOTER FRAUD BATTLE STRAIGHT TO STATES: 'ON
THE TARGET'
 
When the Justice Department announced guidance in May to comply with
the executive order, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the
Civil Rights Division said in a statement: "The right to vote is the
foundation of American democracy and it is critical for returning
citizens to have reliable information concerning what voting rules
apply after a criminal conviction."
 
The FGA has made Freedom of Information Act requests to several
executive branch agencies for more details on how Biden’s March 2021
executive order would be implemented.
 
"WITH THE LACK OF OVERSIGHT AND TRANSPARENCY, THERE IS A GENUINE
CONCERN THAT THIS EFFORT WILL PRIMARILY TARGET DEMOCRAT STRONGHOLDS TO
HELP TURN OUT VOTERS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES ARE MORE
LIKELY TO VOTE DEMOCRAT—MUCH LIKE ZUCKERBUCKS DID IN THE 2020
ELECTION," THE REPORT CONTINUES. "IF THESE CONCERNS PROVE TRUE, THEN
THIS IS A MASSIVE GET-OUT-THE-VOTE EFFORT DESIGNED TO BENEFIT ONE
POLITICAL PARTY ALL PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS. IT IS ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL,
AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL."
