Top Republican senators, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, are seeking answers from the Biden administration regarding its “voter mobilization” efforts after being stonewalled for over six months.

The lawmakers are concerned about Executive Order 14019 on “Promoting Access to Voting” and are requesting information on how federal agencies plan to implement the order, including a request for copies of their plans submitted to the White House.

They argue that the use of federal resources for voter mobilization efforts could violate the Antideficiency Act, and are calling for transparency and oversight. (Trending: Donald Trump Confronts Bud Light CEO)

“The Order outlines various activities in which agencies are to engage, including promoting mail-in voting and partnering with third-party organizations to register voters,” allege the senators.

They insisted that “federal agencies should be focused on their defined missions in a nonpartisan manner, not using taxpayer funds for voter mobilization efforts with potentially partisan impacts.”

“In other words, it’s not the job of the federal government to drive voter turnout, argued the republicans.

“Reviewing these agency plans is crucial to determining whether this order has or may lead to the improper use of federal resources,” charged the group.

The lawmakers highlighted that “obstacles include difficulties with voter registration, lack of election information, and barriers to access at polling places. For generations, Black voters and other voters of color have faced discriminatory policies and other obstacles that disproportionally affect their communities,” the order says.

“Violating this statute carries administrative and potential criminal penalties, highlighting the need for transparency,” demanded the senators.

Adding, “Unfortunately, the White House has kept these plans hidden despite numerous requests from Congress.”
