July 12, 2024 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) announced the filing of a federal lawsuit that challenges Biden’s Executive Order (EO) 14019, which attempts to turn federal agencies into partisan voter registration machines.

AFPI and the national law firm of Schaerr Jaffee LLP filed the lawsuit on behalf of a group of plaintiffs, including the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Rep. Ronny Jackson (TX-13), Rep. Beth Van Duyne (TX-24), and Frank LaRose, Secretary of State of Ohio against the Biden Administration.

“The Biden Administration’s desperation to unfairly and illegally win the election knows no bounds," said Rep. Ronny Jackson (TX-13). "Instead of instilling policies that Americans want and need, they turn to the well-oiled DC swamp filled to the brim with deep state loyalists to illegally register voters in an attempt to help them win. I am proud to lead this lawsuit with AFPI to once again hold the Biden administration accountable for illegally weaponizing the federal government.”

“The Biden Administration is once again weaponizing federal agencies, this time to steer taxpayer resources to liberal activist groups who want to sway the election,” said Frank LaRose, Secretary of State of Ohio. “This is a cynical attempt to turn government agencies into a Democratic turnout machine, and it’s wrong. That’s why I’m joining this lawsuit and working to hold the administration accountable.”

“We are pushing back on Biden’s unlawful attempt to weaponize federal agencies into a leftwing election operation that opens the doors to noncitizen voting and all manner of lawbreaking,” said Ken Blackwell, AFPI Chair of the Center for Election Integrity. “Congress has not authorized or funded any of this, so we seek a court order to stop it by simply enforcing federal law. The America First Policy Institute continues to lead the way in making it easy to vote but hard to cheat.”

“Unless we put a stop to this unlawful EO, the Biden Administration and its far-Left allies will convert every federal agency into a partisan voter registration machine,” said Mike Berry, AFPI Executive Director of the Center for Litigation. “What the Biden Administration could not accomplish by lawful means it has forced upon the American people by executive fiat.”

The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Texas, and although the plaintiffs seek a swift and favorable resolution, AFPI is fully prepared to litigate this case to finality, even if that requires going to the United States Supreme Court.
