It is safe to say that the Democrats were emboldened by the successful theft of the 2020 presidential election.  They were further emboldened by the utter lack of any meaningful response from the Republican Party.  That has not stopped them from coming up with more and more elaborate plans to make absolutely sure Republicans will never win another Presidential election. 

The Biden Regime’s latest attempt is rather clever and elaborate.  Unfortunately it would be more successful than anything Acme ever produced.

Through this executive order, the president is abusing the power of his office and using taxpayer-funded resources to transform federal government agencies into get-out-the-vote machines for the left.

Like all other attempts by the Democrats, this one is in direct of the Constitution.

When it comes to elections, the U.S. Constitution is clear: Determining their time, place, and manner falls squarely upon the shoulders of the state legislatures with limited oversight from Congress. Nowhere is the president granted the power to regulate elections.  

Yet through Executive Order 14019, President Joe Biden has ordered federal agencies to engage in overtly political activities that will affect elections, while violating the Constitution and federal law in the process. 

The effects of this Executive Order will be far reaching.

The bad news is this executive order brings the threat of federal election interference to every state’s doorstep. And with the countdown to 2024 well underway, time is running out to stop Team Biden’s scheme. The good news is Congress and the states can stop the threat if they work together and work quickly. 

This Executive Order will deputize every single far left community activist group, making them voter registration power houses.

In one of his first acts after taking office, Biden signed Executive Order 14019, titled “Promoting Access to Voting.” His order commanded every federal agency to use taxpayer-funded resources to engage in voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts. These are overtly partisan activities reserved for political parties, not government.  

Through food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, and other welfare programs, federal agencies have the resources and ability to target millions of potential voters across every state in the country — potential voters whose information is required to enroll in these programs and who are statistically more likely to vote Democrat.  

The order went even further by requiring agencies to allow third-party groups, hand-selected by the White House, to engage in voter registration activities on federal agency premises.   

There was a lot of crowing on the left over the SCOTUS decision in the North Carolina case

the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that although the Constitution gives state legislatures the power to regulate federal elections, state courts can supervise the legislature’s exercise of that power. By a vote of 6-3, the court rejected the so-called “independent state legislature theory,” holding that the North Carolina Supreme Court did not violate the Constitution when it set aside a congressional map adopted by the state’s legislature.

The left is pretty happy about this, but there is a real silver lining here, and it involves one of the liberals long term plans to own this nation. It’s the National popular vote compact.

This is a deal by which a state agrees to give its electoral votes in a presidential election to the winner of the national popular vote regardless of how the population of the state actually votes in a presidential election.

It’s a great system if your goal is to disenfranchise the voters of your state on a permanent basis. My own currently deep blue state has foolishly gone along with this and I saw no remedy to it as the Constitution clearly gives the state legislature power to determine how electoral votes are cast.

However this decision opens the door to an end around through the courts. If the legislature does not have the final word in how federal elections are cast then we can petition the courts for redress and perhaps even trust the judges on SCOTUS to protect the our franchise.

Does this guarantee victory? No, but it gives a chance, a chance that didn’t exist if the independent state legislature theory was in place.

Let them cheer today, there may be a time in the future that those cheers over this ruling may turn to sobs.

100 Word Fan Fiction: Generally Brilliant

“I still do not see why we didn’t follow them General.”, Said the Major,“ We could have captured that entire underground cell.”

“Feldkamp you have no imagination, if we followed them what would we have? A couple of small potatoes, this way the Allies not only believe the plans have gotten through but are convinced we never found them. Patton will still land at the Pas de Callas and we will be ready for him when he does.”

“Simply Brilliant General.” mouthed the Commandant nodding.

Burkhalter grimaced: “I’m glad you approve Klink otherwise I’d have been worried.”
