dims registering folks to vote in MI through the SBA?

The Joe Biden regime’s Small Business Administration (SBA) has partnered with Democratic Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to register voters in the crucial swing state in what Republicans are branding a “blatant” effort to boost votes for the incumbent.

The SBA has been subpoenaed by the House Small Business Committee, with chairman Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) accusing the federal agency of “refus[ing] to comply with the Committee’s ongoing investigation into potential electioneering activities by the SBA.”

“It is unconscionable that during such a precarious time for our nation’s small businesses, the sole federal agency created to serve as their advocate is instead utilizing their limited taxpayer resources and time to advance partisan political campaigns,” commented Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa). He branded the scheme “a blatant attempt by the Biden administration to illegally use the SBA as an extension of the President’s campaign.”

The House Small Business Committee has been attempting to summon SBA officials to answer questions about the Michigan scheme for some time, with the subpoenas issued in response to stonewalling.

“The American people deserve answers and transparency on the electioneering activities of the SBA and how they have or plan to insert themselves in the upcoming federal elections,” said Chairman Williams, accusing the SBA of having “repeatedly strayed” from its “sole mission” of “help[ing Main Street thrive and grow.”

Officially, the purpose of the partnership between the SBA and the Michigan Secretary is to “promote civic engagement and voter registration.” However, such schemes can have the effect of boosting turnout for a particular candidate in elections. Supposedly nonpartisan efforts to increase “voter engagement” and overall turnout by election officials in 2020, funded by Mark Zuckerberg and Google, were funneled almost entirely into Democrat-leaning districts.
