Laws are for Republicans, not Democrats.
The Republican members of the Uniparty will do nothing about it.
They intend on staying in power indefinitely.
I’m sure Garland, who is excited about stuffing handfuls of ballots, will get right on that hatch thingy.
Defund the fed. Let them pay themselves to work not for US
2020! Was a insurrection alright by our government against President Trump president then and still is now officially.
No more soup for the weak complacent R party till they correct what they have let slide and punish to deter with prejudice.
I’m a federal employee and familiar with the Hatch Act. We’ve gotten 4 hours of admin leave on Election Day for years. I honestly don’t see any Hatch Act violations here, if “poll working” is done while on leave. Remember federal employees have rights too—if on admin leave, that’s not duty status and we are free to volunteer, put signs on our lawns, make GOTV calls. . .pretty much anything but host a fundraiser in our homes or put bumper stickers on gov’t cars or engage in partisan activity while on duty, actually.
This bimbette, Kiran Ahuja, claims more and more private sector companies are giving time off to vote. I’d like her to name two of them.
EC
When the hell was the last time a politician was arrested and convicted for violating the Hatch Act?
I believe that Any day there is voting for national offices, should be a holiday. Celebrate freedom. Take a little time to exercise your rights in our nation! Go vote!
I really think that if people had a day off, on a Tuesday, there would be more participation of people that work. And working people lean right.
President Joe Biden signed Executive Order 14019 in March 2021 to push federal agencies to promote voter participation.
So we don’t get to vote again who knew.
11 months to go, the DemoMarxists haven’t even begun to cheat. This time I wouldn’t be surprised if they set off a nuke to change election laws.
The 1939 Act forbids the intimidation or bribery of voters and restricts political campaign activities by federal employees. It prohibits using any public funds designated for relief or public works for electoral purposes. It forbids officials paid with federal funds from using promises of jobs, promotion, financial assistance, contracts, or any other benefit to coerce campaign contributions or political support. It provides that persons below the policy-making level in the executive branch of the federal government must not only refrain from political practices that would be illegal for any citizen, but must abstain from "any active part" in political campaigns, using this language to specify those who are exempt:[10]
The act also precludes federal employees from membership in "any political organization which advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government",[11] a provision meant to prohibit membership in organizations on the far left and far right, such as the Communist Party USA and the German-American Bund.[12]
An amendment on July 19, 1940, extended the Act to certain employees of state and local governments whose positions are primarily paid for by federal funds. It has been interpreted to bar political activity on the part of employees of state agencies administering federal unemployment insurance programs and appointed local law enforcement agency officials with oversight of federal grant funds. The Hatch Act bars state and local government employees from running for public office if any federal funds support the position, even if the position is funded almost entirely with local funds.[13]
The Merit Systems Protection Board and the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) are responsible for enforcement of the Hatch Act.[14]
Thanks Joe and the Rino GOP.
Based on early reports Biden’s speech tomorrow will violate the act unless it is classified as a campaign speech. If it is whatever outlets are covering any or all part of it will owe not only Teump but every GOP candidate equal time.
Too many lawyers with too much time on their hands. My company allows leave for poll working, and I’m sure hundreds of others do as well.
