Arrr! Them scurvy Republicans be clueless 'bout how the Biden scallywags be usin' the federal government to gain the upper hand in elections. The GOP be needin' to set their sights on thwartin' this abuse o' power, lest they walk the plank!
In a humorous and tongue-in-cheek tone, the author discusses the Democrats' use of supposedly non-partisan get-out-the-vote (GOTV) operations to ensure their low-propensity voters participate in elections. The author highlights President Joe Biden's Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting, which instructed federal agencies to use their resources and personnel to help turn out the vote. However, the author questions the exclusivity of these efforts, as they seem to primarily target Democratic voting blocks.The author points out that Biden's order explicitly targets specific communities, such as Black and Native American communities, Hispanic and Latino voters, civil rights and disability rights advocates, convicted felons, and federal government employees. These groups have historically shown strong support for Democrats. The author humorously suggests that the left may have found a way to make taxpayers fund their GOTV operations.
The author criticizes the lack of transparency in the plans submitted by federal agencies in preparation for upcoming elections. The Biden administration has claimed executive privilege to prevent the release of these plans, which is being challenged through Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. The author argues that federal employees are meant to administer federal programs and not to assist the ruling party in getting out the vote for specific groups.
The author concludes by emphasizing the importance for Republicans to develop their own infrastructure to turn out low-propensity voters and challenge the Democrats' dominance in this area. They urge the GOP to focus not only on being right on the issues but also on having appealing candidates and a robust plan to get out the vote.
