The Supreme Court says it wo n’t wait until Sept. 30 to hear a challenge to a Biden executive order that allows the federal government to interfere in elections with taxpayer money.
The March 2021 Executive Order, which directs federal agencies to employ measures to record voters and get people to vote, is the subject of the challenge facing Pennsylvania lawmakers.
Oral claims are heard until April, and the Supreme Court word begins in October. But the Court may only decide whether to take the” Bidenbucks” event on Sept. 30, according to The Epoch Times. This implies that even if the four justices needed to decide the case agree and even if SCOTUS decides in favor of the Pennsylvania lawmakers, it wo n’t likely be in time for any significant change to be made before the November election.
Additionally, it allows governmental organizations to continue to interfere with them without restraint in the interim.
What Does The Suit Allege?
Republican State Representative from Pennsylvania Dawn Keefer, along with 26 other state legislators, argue Biden overstepped his constitutional authority to take control of elections with his” Bidenbucks” Executive Order, as my partner M. D. Kittle reported.
President Biden and the governor of Pennsylvania were the subjects of the lawsuit that was filed in January. Josh Shapiro, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, and Jonathan Marks— who serves as assistant director for state Elections and Earnings.
The lawsuit contends that the executive order is illegal because it defies the constitutional authority of politicians to determine when, where, and how an election will be held.
” ]A ] ll agency action in conformity with]EO] 14019 is without congressional delegation or funding, and conducted merely by executive fiat”, the suit alleges. In particular, the Pennsylvania group of state legislators argues that” Bidenbucks” has the capability of changing Pennsylvania’s vote rules” which usurps the state court’s power and violates the state legislators ‘ federal civil rights under the Electors Clause and the Elections Clause”.
The problem was dismissed by the Middle District of Pennsylvania’s U.S. District Court in March, contending that individual state representatives lacked standing to bring the case. According to The Epoch Times, the politicians requested a preliminary injunction in the city court well before the November 2024 election, but also requested that the Supreme Court expedite their review of the case.
The Supreme Court announced on Wednesday that it will make a decision in September after rejecting this plea in May.
How Bidenbucks Works
Under Executive Order 14019, governmental agencies are required to ingrain on the government to interfere in elections. The Department of Education, which released a letter in February announcing national work-study money could be used to give students at state agencies to enroll voters or function as a poll observer, is one way this is being accomplished.
The Department of Agriculture is working with left-wing organizations like Demos to move out citizens. Additionally, the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service, as reported by my colleague M. D. Kittle, “encourages all state agencies administering the child nutrition programs to give native program operators with special materials, including voter registration and non- political, non- campaign election information, to disseminate among voting- age program participants and their families”.
The organization even went so far as to advise that “school foods authorities administering the National School Lunch Program… in great schools, adult day care centers, and emergency shelters participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program… to use flock feeding areas, such as cafeterias, or food submission sites, as sites for the dissemination of information,” as well as encourage voting registration and election details among voting-age participants.
The key state of Michigan is the one whose Department of State and the U.S. Small Business Administration ( SBA ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to “promote civic engagement and voter registration in Michigan.” Witnesses to these initiatives told the House Oversight Committee on Small Business that Republican Colorado representative Pete Stauber noted that roughly 91 percent of voters in Michigan are registered to vote.
Why did the SBA concentrate on Michigan rather than states with lower voter registration numbers, Stauber correctly questioned.
These tax-payer-funded election interference schemes will continue to exist even after the Supreme Court has given them more time, even through the early voting period in a number of states.
