From Fox News: The entire Michigan House GOP delegation — plus a major committee chair — is demanding answers from a top state official regarding the potential use of federal taxpayer dollars for pro-Democratic Party electioneering.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, led a letter to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson calling for a probe into whether public funds for a federal agency-linked voter registration push may have been “weaponized” to “aid and abet President Biden’s reelection campaign.”
The demands followed Williams’ May subpoena to the Small Business Administration for records relating to actions in a memo forged between the SBA and Benson’s department. The memo utilized a 2021 Biden executive order on “promoting access to voting” as its keystone and provided various directives relating to registering voters, according to the letter.
Republicans are seeking to determine whether the voter registration efforts conducted through the program strategically favors Democrats.
“100 percent of the visits to Michigan from the SBA Administrator and Deputy Administrator have taken place in counties with the highest populations of DNC target demographics,” the GOP-led letter warns.
Chairman @RepRWilliams along with @RepLisaMcClain and House Republicans from Michigan wrote to the Michigan Secretary of State regarding its partnership with the @SBAgov relating to voter registration efforts.
