‘Bidenbucks’ Stink Emanates From Leftist Group’s Voter Drive In Milwaukee Schools

'BidenBucks' Stink All Over Milwaukee School Voter Drive

The Federalist

The Milwaukee initiative has all the markings of ‘Bidenbucks,’ an executive order that threatens to transform federal agencies into a get-out-the-vote machine for Democrats.

Just 16 percent of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) students can read and write at grade level. Only 12 percent are proficient in math in the swing state of Wisconsin’s largest school district.

So why on earth is MPS prioritizing work with a Democrat-aligned activist organization aimed at turning out to the polls the 18-year-old students MPS has for so long failed? Why is the anti-voter ID group VoteRiders working with MPS faculty designated as “Voter Champions” to register MPS students and their families to vote?

Naked politics. And familiar politics at that, according to Dave Craig, a senior legal fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability.

“It’s relatively the same type of scheme as Zuckerbucks,” said Craig, a former Wisconsin state senator, referring to the hundreds of millions of dollars handed out in so-called “safe election” grants to election administrators by the leftist Center for Tech and Civic Life. “I think it’s certainly something the legislature should be looking at.”

Milwaukee’s left-led young voter drive may arguably be more nefarious than the buckets of money Facebook founder and conservative silencer Mark Zuckerberg dumped into the 2020 election administration. The MPS initiative has all the markings of what Craig calls “Bidenbucks,” President Joe Biden’s executive order that threatens to transform federal agencies into a get-out-the-vote machine for Democrats.

In this case, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service — the agency that funds hot lunches and other meals in K-12 schools — could very well be in on the young voter initiative.

‘Every School has a Voter Champion’

Like most states, Wisconsin law permits pre-registration of eligible voters before they turn 18. The Badger State has long emphasized civic engagement and the importance of voting in its schools.

But Milwaukee Public Schools has again taken those core democratic principles to a patently partisan — and possibly illegal — level. The school district has joined forces with the California-based VoteRiders and the League of Women Voters to register high school students who will turn 18 by election day to vote. A faculty member at each school is tapped to serve as “Voter Champion” to assist those 18 or approaching 18 who don’t have a photo ID. The school employee, on the taxpayer’s dime, connects the student with a representative from the leftist VoteRiders…
