President Joe Biden is slated to sign an executive order on Sunday that seeks to increase access to voter registration and election information.

"The executive order will direct the head of each federal agency to submit to the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy a strategic plan outlining ways their agency can promote voter registration and participation within 200 days," according to the White House.

One element of the order calls for analyzing any obstacles to voting for the disabled. Another aspect pertains to military members, as it will "direct the Secretary of Defense within 200 days to establish procedures to annually offer each member of the Armed Forces on active duty the opportunity to register to vote in federal elections, update voter registration, or request an absentee ballot."
This part is bait and switch as there are already elections laws for the military & disabled to vote.

Here is the meat and bones of the E.O.
quote:

The order will seek to supply voting access and education to incarcerated Americans.

It "will direct the Attorney General to establish procedures to provide educational materials related to voter registration and voting, and to the extent practicable, to facilitate voter registration, for all eligible individuals in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons," according to the White House.

So under the guise of the disabled & military being assured a vote (which already exists)

Biden, just- like- that- makes it suddenly okay for those in prison to vote.

Next will be money snuck in some where so the democrats can go to the jails and do out reach and collect the straight dem ballots.

They are panicking already, they know the real numbers of the last voting cycle. You are going to see the Felons voting and mass immigration to try to change the numbers, for the future

Seems like a lot of his executive orders are pushed through quietly on weekends when less people are paying attention.

Some jurisdictions allow felons to vote. Others do not. Apparently, this EO is intended (in part) to facilitate use of the franchise for federal inmates who are ENTITLED to vote under state law.

Outrageous.

meh misdemeanors can earn jail time and should not bar you from voting. Its not like this bill makes violent felons eligible. There are plenty of flaws with nearly everything biden touches, but something like public urination or a driving violation shouldn't disenfranchise folks.

Good Lord, your own article says that this applies only to those who are ALREADY entitled to vote.

It's all about Dems securing permanent one-party rule.

At some point decent Americans who love freedom will have to rise up and take the country back because it's not going to happen with Dems rigging elections.

Well the criminals just got covid relief checks with the illegal aliens so let them vote. In fact, let them all go free and give them free rides to D.C. and $300/week unemployment stipends too

Under the constitution or what’s left of it, this is not legal. State legislators set election laws not Biden through executive orders.
