One of the nation's most prominent get-out-the-vote groups – which Taylor Swift endorsed – is experiencing a mass exodus of staff as it faces a fiscal and leadership crisis in the middle of a presidential election year, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Vote.org, which began the year with up to 20 paid positions, has lost nearly half its staff since February, when the communications director quit while expressing frustration with management, insiders tell DailyMail.com.
The chief operating officer resigned in early March and late last week five employees were let go including the vice president of development, director of partnerships, program manager, a software engineer and a junior staffer, sources said.
Now sources blame management for loss of funding, pointing to CEO Andrea Hailey who, they say, is more focused on promoting herself than the organization.
The layoffs couldn't have come at a worse time.
'It's bad for democracy when the largest voter registration organization in the country is facing internal problems in an election year and can't take advantage of what should be a fertile period for fundraising,' one insider said.
'It's also troubling for people who are really focused on preserving democracy with this election coming up.'
CEO Hailey, 43, alerted the affected staffers herself via email, giving no explanation or offer of severance.
'We regret to inform you that your employment with vote.org is terminated, effective Thursday, March 21, 2024,' reads Hailey's message, obtained by DailyMail.com.
'Due to the sensitive nature of your prior scope of work, we have terminated access to email and our systems.'

That is how leftists treats people.
The staff should quit their whining and feel honored to be abused by their betters.
Looks like quite a nice apartment. I bet vote.org is paying for it.
And how many republicans work for them? Diversity is,our greatest strength. Right?
Hell, maybe Sam Bankman Fried can be the new president of Vote.org
With that Adams Apple sort of looks like a dude
She's been staying kinda quiet on politics this year, other than encouraging people to get out and vote.
Swift's turn to wokeness in 2018 always had that vibe of someone with a gun to their head. It felt very fake.
Because she didn't endorse Hillary in 2016, she was accused of being a closet Trump supporter and adjacent far-right. Threatened with cancellation, she embraced wokeism very rapidly (or should I say swiftly).
He's gonna have a lot of free time on his hands.
Has his hobbit girlfriend been sentenced yet? Don't feel like googling it.
"Republicans are Swifties, too".
Most likely, Taylor Swift is apolitical. That's my impression. She probably voted for Biden because of the abortion issue. But she doesn't want to make a big deal about it. Like you said, she was forced to show her support in 2020. She did her part. So she can be quiet and remain focused on business. Which is what she wanted in the first place.
LOL
Someone que the “ha ha” guy.
This is a promising sign. It implies that they don’t think they will make a difference.
Democrat party does not care to help those they employ, they just exploit. They underpay and/or fire the workers while they spend the money on parties and vacations and ‘meetings’.
Some think it is a man.
Andrea Hailey looks like Kamala but with slightly lighter skin.
I was wondering if that troll looking thing was even charged with a crime yet.
That headline reads more like Ronna McDaniel and the RNC.
The Sodomites crash?
Where do I dance a jig?
No matter. Not impressed.
This makes me lol
>We don’t need voter registration groups. If people want to register to vote, that’s what their county’s elections office is for.<
The purpose isn’t getting them to vote. It’s getting them registered then voting for them. That’s the true outflow from Zuckerbucks.
Truethevote.org has their information. It can then be crosschecked with election day software to see if they voted. If not, a ballot can be generated in their name. Have you ever wondered why there was such a big push against signature matching and extended mail in voting?
