Republicans fight federal funding for college voter mobilization that Biden gave Democrat states

Republicans are pushing back against federal funds being used to promote get-out-the-vote (GOTV) activities among college students as Democrat-led states are taking advantage of the new Federal Work-Study (FWS) program focused on voter registration efforts.

Secretaries of state from Democratic-run states pushed the Biden administration for federal funds to be used in college GOTV activities, and Republicans are now fighting back against the funding in Congress and across GOP-led states.

Even JTN’s reporting optics look pathetic.

WTF is wrong with the Right’s inability to describe the BS in simple terms?

How about: “a pushback against the Democrats’ deception and exploitation of new voters” ???

[OttawaFreeper]

Well, I wonder how many college aged kids bother to show up to vote anyway?

[Eagles6]

When the Rats register them, apply for their mail in ballot, then pay them for the ballot I’d bet quite a few.

[mikelets456]

They don’t show up to vote. But the democrat minions harvest their ballot used to vote.

Democrats are so far ahead in cheating, and using OUR tax dollars to do so, the GOP must be in on the steal as the “controlled opposition party”. They’re complicity is deafening

[Wallace T.]

Are the Republicans even going to issue a strongly worded letter? This article does not even mention what steps the GOP is going to take to stop funding this farce. Funding starts in the House of Representatives, which the Republicans supposedly control. They were defeated on the military aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, where they got no trade off on border security for this country in exchange for supporting the aid.

Zuckerberg basically bought the election for Biden. The vast majority of voters are already registered. In 2020, Biden won Arizona by 10K votes. In 2016, Trump won it by 90K. That’s a 100K swing. Zuckerberg spent $5m in AZ. That’s $50 per Democrat voter registered. Whether simple registrations or ballot harvesting, all Zuckerberg’s paid staff had to do was hang out in Democrat areas. If more than 1 new voter was registered per hour and they were paid by the voter, his operatives may have had effective hourly rates in excess of $100. Regardless of what anyone might think of Zuckerberg personally，the guy was the most effective political donor in 2020, and perhaps in any presidential election, ever, far outstripping Soros.

I sometimes wonder if Democrats’ cheating tactics will eventually catch up with them? Or maybe not. IMO the whole political system needs to be scrapped and laws need to be in place to stop giving these crooks incentives.

If a college kid isn’t smart enough to know about voting, the college needs to be razed -this is just more political activism that has nothing to do with voting...

[nonliberal]

Or just find a Republican billionaire who is willing to buy an election like Zuck?

[PghBaldy]

Is this a Hatch Act violation?

[aimhigh]

Is this a Hatch Act violation?

Not with a liberal DOJ in charge.
