The Biden Justice Department continues to claim presidential privilege to block release of its strategic plan to turn out the vote, although at least two other federal agencies have made their plans public.
In defending a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act, the Justice Department is keeping under wraps its plans to implement President Joe Biden's 2021 executive order, under which most federal agencies are required to develop a strategic plan for increasing voter participation in elections.
The Railroad Retirement Board also released its strategic plan for boosting voting, The Daily Signal reported.
My book "The Myth of Voter Suppression" details how executives at the liberal think tank Demos-one of the private groups working with federal agencies on voter turnout-drafted an executive order in December 2020, the month before Biden took office, suggesting how he should turn government bureaucracies into voter registration agencies.
Possibly more ambiguous is the Defense Department, which said it updated an existing strategic plan to fit Biden's executive order on voting.
The Daily Signal also reported that federal agencies are working to carry out Biden's order on voting with Demos and other liberal advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union.
In 2021, the White House announced that the Justice Department would focus on the Bureau of Prisons to "Provide information about voting to individuals in federal custody, facilitate voting by those who remain eligible to do so while in federal custody, and educate individuals before reentry about voting rules and voting rights in their states."
