GOP Senators Criticize Biden Administration's Secretive Federal Get-Out-the-Vote Plans

Top Republican senators, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, are criticizing the Biden administration for its lack of response to their inquiries about Executive Order 14019 on "Promoting Access to Voting." The senators argue that federal agencies should focus on their defined missions in a nonpartisan manner and not use taxpayer funds for potentially partisan voter mobilization efforts. They are requesting copies of agency plans submitted to the White House and a full accounting of federal funding used to implement the executive order. The senators also raise concerns about the potential violation of the Antideficiency Act and the need for transparency in the administration's plans.
