Joe Biden’s secret voter plan - Washington Examiner
JOE BIDEN'S SECRET VOTER PLAN. It wasn't terribly big news on March 7, 2021. President Joe Biden, then less than two months in office, signed an executive order "promoting voting rights," in the words of the Washington Post, to "make voting easier," in the words of the New York Times. Both...

On July 30, 2021, a conservative but nonpartisan think tank called the Foundation for Government Accountability sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the Justice Department asking for documents showing how the department is complying with Biden's order. The foundation was particularly interested in the specific plan the department came up with — what was the DOJ actually going to do to implement the president's wishes? "Please provide your agency's strategic plan developed pursuant to President Biden Executive Order 14019 ... outlining ways you identified for your agency to promote voter registration and voter participation," the request said.
The Justice Department's answer was...nothing. A year passed, and the Justice Department did not turn over a single document. So the foundation went to court, and as a result, a federal judge ordered the Justice Department to turn over the material. The judge set a deadline of Sept. 8, 2022. The Justice Department waited until the last day and turned over...next to nothing. It sent a batch of emails and a few documents that turned out mostly to be staffers corresponding with each other over who would be present at which meeting.

After review of the Civil Rights Division documents responsive to your request, the Division has identified (15) pages of material representing the STRATEGIC PLAN for the Implementation of Executive Order 14019, Promoting Access to Voting. I have determined that these materials are to be withheld in full pursuant to Exemption 5 of the Freedom of Information Act, 551(b)(5), which pertains to certain inter- and intra-agency records protected by civil discovery privileges, in this instance the deliberative process and presidential communications privileges.
There's only one way.........
