During his presidency, Joe Biden orchestrated an illegal scheme to manipulate the electoral system, using Executive Order 14019 to funnel federal resources into Democrat-controlled voter registration efforts. This was not merely an overreach; it was a flagrant violation of federal law designed to rig elections in favor of his party. Now, with President Trump back in office, Congress is uncovering the full extent of Biden’s corruption. Led by House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, Republican lawmakers are demanding full transparency and accountability from the federal agencies that participated in this unlawful order. The Biden administration brazenly weaponized taxpayer-funded agencies to tilt elections, and now, under Trump’s leadership, Congress is finally holding them accountable.
At the center of this inquiry are official letters sent by Congress to fourteen federal agencies, demanding they turn over the documents and records detailing how they carried out Biden’s corrupt election rigging scheme. These letters expose the direct involvement of agencies such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Department of Education, and the Department of Justice. These agencies, under Biden’s directive, steered government resources into voter registration drives specifically designed to benefit Democratic turnout. This was not a neutral effort—it was a partisan operation conducted under the false pretense of “voter access.”
The legal violations committed under EO 14019 are staggering. The Anti-Deficiency Act expressly forbids federal agencies from spending funds on unauthorized activities. Yet, Biden’s agencies blatantly diverted public money to Democrat-aligned voter drives. The Hatch Act, which strictly prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan political activities, was shredded by Biden’s administration as government workers were instructed to register and mobilize voters for one political party. The Biden administration knew this was illegal—which is why they fought so aggressively to conceal their activities from Congress.
The Biden administration’s refusal to release its election-rigging plans is further proof of their guilt. When oversight requests were issued in 2023 and 2024, Biden’s agencies defied Congress, refusing to provide the strategic plans outlining how EO 14019 was implemented. If they had nothing to hide, why the secrecy? Their obstruction only confirms that this was a targeted operation designed to secure Democrat electoral victories using taxpayer money.
History has repeatedly warned us about the dangers of executive branch election interference. The Hatch Act was created specifically to prevent corrupt schemes like Biden’s, following accusations that Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs were used to buy votes. The Obama administration faced similar scrutiny when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius illegally used her office to promote Obama’s re-election. But Biden took it even further—his administration weaponized the entire federal bureaucracy to engage in mass voter registration tailored to help Democrats win.
The danger of EO 14019 is not just what Biden did—it’s what could happen if this illegal precedent is allowed to stand. If a Democratic president can turn government agencies into a massive get-out-the-vote operation for his party, what stops another from doing the same? House Republicans are making it clear: this abuse of power will not be tolerated. The executive branch must never be allowed to use taxpayer money to control election outcomes.
Congress’s investigation into EO 14019 must not stop with document requests. This corruption demands criminal referrals, subpoenas, and full legal action. The House Oversight Committee should compel testimony from agency heads who participated in this fraud. Republican attorneys general must file lawsuits to dismantle every piece of Biden’s illegal executive order. Additionally, Congress should strip every remaining dollar from any program initiated under EO 14019, ensuring that this disgraceful election manipulation never happens again.
This is not about voter rights—this is about Democrats stealing elections using federal power. The Biden administration’s refusal to be transparent proves their guilt. If EO 14019 was a legal and neutral initiative, they would have no problem releasing their plans. Instead, they obstructed, lied, and hid the truth. Now, Trump’s Congress is forcing them into the light.
Sadly, there is no way to eliminate election voter fraud, because each county administers election process their own way. That is crazy for the only nationwide election for POTUS & running mate for VP.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If no one goes to jail this is nothing more than a PR stunt.
Words are cheap. Heads on pikes, dammit!

Wimpy
Oops wring thread
Every day I think I cannot be disgusted more at the corruption of the Democrats...until the next day comes.
So where the hell is a federal judge to rule the EO is illegal.
"...official letters sent by Congress to fourteen federal agencies" is vague to the extreme. What letters? Sent by whom? By what committee? To what federal agencies?
Here is some background info:
The House Administration Committee is a quiet committee as is Chairman Bryan Steil, but they do important work. Its jurisdiction includes Federal Election Law. The committee monitors and proposes amendments to federal election laws and oversees congressional elections across the U.S. Steil succeeded the execrable Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) as chairman.
Steil also serves on the House Financial Services Committee, where he chairs the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. On June 13, 2024 (when Biden was "president"), Steil issued subpoenas to 15 Biden administration cabinet officials for documents related to EO 14019, signed by Biden on March 7, 2021. This order, titled "Promoting Access to Voting," directed federal agencies to enhance voter registration and participation efforts. Steil and other Republicans have criticized it as a partisan "get-out-the-vote scheme" (sometimes dubbed "Bidenbucks"), arguing it could improperly influence elections by mobilizing voters in a way that benefits Democrats. The subpoenas sought strategic plans from these agencies to assess their implementation of the order, reflecting concerns about potential misuse rather than direct accusations of election fraud by Biden himself. Five of these officials were later subpoenaed again on August 28, 2024, for sworn depositions after initial noncompliance, indicating a deepening of the probe. The 15 subpoenas were sent to:
| Name | Department |
|---|---|
| Antony Blinken | Secretary of State |
| Janet Yellen | Secretary of the Treasury |
| Lloyd Austin | Secretary of Defense |
| Merrick Garland | Attorney General (Justice) |
| Deb Haaland | Secretary of the Interior |
| Tom Vilsack | Secretary of Agriculture |
| Gina Raimondo | Secretary of Commerce |
| Xavier Becerra | Secretary of Health and Human Services |
| Adrianne Todman | Acting Secretary of Housing and Urban Development |
| Julie Su | Acting Secretary of Labor |
| Miguel Cardona | Secretary of Education |
| Jennifer Granholm | Secretary of Energy |
| Pete Buttigieg | Secretary of Transportation |
| Alejandro Mayorkas | Secretary of Homeland Security |
| Shalanda Young | Director of the Office of Management and Budget |
On August 28, 2024, Steil subpoenaed five of the 15—Becerra (HHS), Su (Labor), Todman (HUD), Garland (Justice), and Vilsack (Agriculture)—for sworn depositions, citing their "failure to comply with a lawfully issued congressional subpoena"
By December 17, 2024, during a committee hearing, Steil announced receiving over 6,000 documents from "federal agencies" in the EO 14019 probe, but he didn’t specify which of the 15 contributed or whether all did. He did note ongoing resistance, saying, "The Biden Administration has refused to fully comply," implying that even with some document production, compliance was incomplete across the group. He did not make it clear who fully ignored versus partially responded. It appears only HHS (Becerra) and HUD (Todman) offered limited, inadequate replies and the other 13 ignored the subpoena entirely.
The 15 officials are, of course, no longer in their roles. The House Administration Committee is still chaired by Steil in the 119th Congress (began January 3, 2025), but he has not released a comprehensive update post-January 20, 2025, on the final compliance status of the original 15 under Biden.
In January, Steil issued a press release titled "Steil Statement on Trump Inauguration," in which he said: "Getting our elections right is vital to restoring trust in our system. I am committed to ensuring that our elections are free, fair, and secure. These principles are vital to our democracy, and I’ll keep working to strengthen Americans’ trust in our elections." This reflects his ongoing focus on election integrity as a priority in the new Congress, though it’s broad and doesn’t specify new actions beyond his prior work on Executive Order 14019 or other initiatives. No press releases or hearings explicitly mentioning election integrity have been posted on cha.house.gov or steil.house.gov between January 20, 2025, and today (March 21, 2025).
I wouldn't hold my breath over this; nothing will come of it. Blondie is too busy getting face time on Faux News to actually prosecute and incarcerate actual criminals.
It'll be 4 years of breathless BREAKING!! stories that go nowhere until the Dems cheat their way back into power in 2028. We'll be right back where we started with no PDJT to blunt the onslaught. Enjoy the next 4 years because it all ends for good after that.
You are correct.
Maybe a ‘super mandate’
Thanks for the added detail.
My pleasure. A lot of credit goes to Mr. Grok, my primary research assistant. We had a lot of back-and-forth to discover relevant info and make a coherent case. I did a lot of condensing, rearranging, editorial comments, and editing to make it more coherent and chronological.
Good luck getting it all past Roberts and ACB when the time comes.
It seems to me that Democrats, possibly led by Joe Biden might rightly be subjected to a very harsh punishment for subverting justice in this way. How harsh should this judgement be? I can’t say, but it needs to be somehing they will regret for a long, long time. I would submit that justice that harsh might rightly be something that hasn’t been used in a long time. Remember, we (apparently) used public stocks (not financial ones) in this country as one form of punishment & something like that could get very, very bad.
Mike Johnson is useless, that’s why.
Fractal was just too strong and well engineered for the rodents to beat. Plus they ran a moron and a fake soldier which made it impossible for the rodents to win.
Those who constantly whined, “But they’ll cheat” think again.
They won't happen because they all slop at the same trough. After all these years watching them get rich at our expense we, still don't seem to get it, it is always about the money.
Why do you suppose we always get wimpy leader in the House and Senate?
All of government acts just like a Union. My Brother 40 years ago, was a Teamster truck driver and I confronted him about the millions of dollars Jimmy Hoffa stole he countered with, I don't care how much he steals as long as I get mine.
