Its no secret by now that Democrats love rigging elections in their favor. <\/p>\n
During the 2016 contest, agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI willingly partook in a Hillary Clinton campaign-funded operation to convince the American public that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin and the Russian government to steal the election. The FBI didnt just launch an investigation into Trump based on uncorroborated intelligence; it used the Clinton-funded Steele dossier to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on his campaign. <\/p>\n
These kinds of nefarious activities continued into the 2020 election, in which these agencies (along with the CIA) worked overtime to discredit damaging reporting about then-candidate Joe Biden. These departments even went so far as to pressure Big Tech platforms in the months leading up to the election to censor information like the Hunter Biden laptop story when it became public. Like clockwork, these companies acquiesced. <\/p>\n
And who could forget Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, whose Zuckbucks flooded local election offices in key battleground states to change how elections were administered and effectively fund a Democrat get-out-the-vote operation? <\/p>\n
Now, as the country hurtles towards another intense presidential election, Democrats are once again putting their feet on the electoral scale to rig the 2024 contest in their favor. <\/p>\n
Another facet of so-called law enforcement agencies election interference is their blatant targeting of conservatives. Within the past few years, the FBI has been caught directing its fire at parents attending school board meetings, Catholics who attend Latin Mass, and innocent pro-lifers, to name a few. <\/p>\n
Given these actions, it wasnt shocking when Newsweek reported on Wednesday that the agency is gearing up to single out supporters of former President Donald Trump as domestic terrorists ahead of the 2024 contest. As The Federalists Jordan Boyd reported, Testimony from more than a dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism to Newsweek confirmed that this increase in targeting was born out of the FBIs decision to lump Trump supporters into its expanded definition of domestic extremism.' <\/p>\n
Former business associates, IRS and FBI whistleblowers, bank records, text messages, emails, reporting from a highly credible informant, and even President Joe Biden himself have all corroborated different aspects of the latters involvement in his familys corrupt foreign business ventures. But according to Democrats and their legacy media allies, this is just evidence of a fathers love for his son. <\/p>\n
From the moment mountains of evidence began piling up, implicating Biden in playing a major role in his familys international influence-peddling scheme, Democrats have done all they can to hide, excuse, and obfuscate the massive scandal surrounding the sitting president. With help from the DOJ which almost got away with offering Bidens son, Hunter, a sweetheart plea agreement to evade future criminal charges and has routinely hindered investigative efforts into the Bidens these acts represent a clear attempt by Democrats to hide damning information about the sitting president from the American public ahead of the 2024 election. <\/p>\n
Who needs free and fair elections when you can just throw your political opponents behind bars ahead of a major election? Spanning four separate cases and 91 felony counts, the DOJ and leftist prosecutors seemingly coordinated efforts to imprison Trump could not represent a more obvious attempt to interfere in the election process. <\/p>\n
While 25 states passed legislation banning or restricting the use of Zuckbucks in elections, that hasnt stopped nonprofits like the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) one of the Zuckerberg-funded groups that meddled in the 2020 election from attempting to replicate their 2020 strategy for future elections. <\/p>\n
Last year, CTCL and other left-wing groups launched the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, an $80 millionventuredesignedto systematically influence every aspect of election administration and advance Democrat-backed voting policies in local election offices. Through the use of scholarships and low entrance fees, the coalition seeks to make the 2020 private hijacking of election offices look like childs play. <\/p>\n
Its not surprising the same agencies that pushed Big Tech platforms to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election would continue their censorship practices years later. As indicated in several federal court rulings, the Biden administration has been actively colluding with social media giants like Facebook to suppress commentary and facts posted online that it claims are examples of misinformation. Equally alarming is that in spite of these rulings barring such authoritarian behavior, the administration has continued to appeal the decisions to regain the power to stifle speech online. <\/p>\n
And these actions dont even include the efforts undertaken by left-wing groups such as Vote.org, which have pressured Big Tech platforms to adopt plans to combat so-called election disinformation. <\/p>\n
Sometimes the only way to win the game is to change the rules in your favor and thats exactly what Democrats have been doing to Americas election laws. <\/p>\n
After expanding insecure voting practices such as mass unsupervised mail-in voting and the use of ballot drop boxes during the 2020 election, Democrat-controlled state legislatures have sought to enshrine these policies into law across the country. States such as New Mexico, Minnesota, and Michigan have all adopted sloppy election procedures under the guise of democracy and so-called voting rights. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in states where Democrats dont hold power, the DOJ and leftist lawyers have stepped in to launch dishonest lawsuits against Republican-backed election integrity laws. For example, the DOJlaunched a lawsuit against a Georgia election integrity law requiring voter ID in June 2021, in which the agency parroted the lie that Georgias law was designed todeny[] or abridg[e] nonwhite Americans right to vote. <\/p>\n
Shortly after taking office, Biden took the unprecedented step of ordering hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in state and local election administration. Executive Order 14019 mandated all departments use U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities. Agencies were also instructed to develop a strategic plan explaining how they intended to fulfill this directive. <\/p>\n
While the Biden administration has routinelystonewalledefforts by good government groups to acquire these plans, available information reveals an apparently partisan venture aimed at registering voters who are likely to support Democrats. Recent reporting from The Daily Signal indicates agencies such as the Indian Health Service are collaborating with leftist groups like Demos and the ACLU to register and turn out voters under Executive Order 14019. <\/p>\n
The Biden bribery scandal isnt the only subject legacy media continue to lie about. In the months leading up to and after the 2022 midterms, media propagandists launched a full-scale attack on GOP voters seeking to legally observe the elections process. Despite their repeated insistence of a widespread conspiracy of Republicans threatening election officials, there is no evidence to suggest such an assertion is true. In fact, Bidens own DOJ all but admitted as much last year. <\/p>\n
The corporate presss goals in regurgitating this false narrative are to both cast their political opponents as extremists and dissuade conservatives who have legitimate concerns about election integrity from partaking in legal forms of electoral oversight (such as poll watching). <\/p>\n
While federal law prohibits tax-exempt 501(c)(3) groups from engaging in partisan voter registration, that hasnt stopped left-wing nonprofits from skirting the legal system by targeting voting demographics favorable to Democrats. <\/p>\n
Organizations such as Restoration of America and Capital Research Center have issued reports in recent months detailing how leftist billionaires bankroll nonprofit groups to register likely-Democrat voters. Instead of explicitly stating theyre registering voters for the Democrat Party, groups like the Voter Registration Project target people of color, women, and young people. In other words, they specifically aim to register demographics likely to vote for Democrats. <\/p>\n
