A GOP lawsuit seeks to block President Biden's effort to register 3.5 million voters, arguing the White House is 'weaponizing' government.
State and federal Republicans are joining a lawsuit challenging an executive order from President Biden aimed at registering up to 3.5 million new voters before Election Day. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose joined with Reps. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, and Beth Van Dune, R-Texas, in accusing Biden of 'weaponizing' federal institutions.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the northern district of Texas, relates to an executive order Biden signed in March 2021 that sought to register 3.5 million additional voters before the 2024 election, and also mobilize them to vote. The administration justified the move through the National Voter Registration Act, but the lawsuit argues that the law has never been interpreted to authorize such an action.
To facilitate the EO’s implementation, the White House has held listening sessions with far-left groups including the Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU, Demos, and Black Lives Matter, which strongly suggests that the EO is intended to provide a partisan advantage to liberal Democrats,' AFPI said. The White House dismissed the lawsuit in comments to Fox News Digital, arguing Republicans are only trying to limit the voting pool.
is seeking a preliminary injunction to block the Biden administration from further implementation of the order until litigation is complete. Read the full lawsuit below. On mobile? Click here
