   Biden administration ignores demands fro

   On the cusp of the midterm election, the Biden administration is not   
   releasing information to members of Congress and watchdog groups about   
   how agencies are imposing an executive order for an "all-of-government"   
   effort to "promote voter registration and voter participation."   
      
   This month, another group of House Republicans sought information about   
   Executive Order 14019, "Promoting Access to Voting," which President   
   Biden signed in March 2021, and a second government watchdog sued to   
   get basic information about plans to implement the order.    
      
   "Federal executive agencies, which have no business engaging in voter   
   registration or mobilization efforts, as the EO directs, will surely   
   exceed the scope of their authority under federal law," said a letter   
   sent Monday by nine Republican House members, led by Rep. Ralph Norman,   
   R-S.C., to Attorney General Merrick Garland.   
      
   Norman and the other members who signed are seeking the Justice   
   Department’s strategic plan for implementing the order.   
      
   "Moreover, in carrying out this EO, employees of these agencies will   
   likely violate other laws such as the Hatch Act, designed to keep   
   federal agencies, led by political appointees, from engaging in   
   political activities to benefit one political party over another," the   
   House GOP letter adds.
