But the president\u2019s acting assistant secretary for the Office of Postsecondary Education, Michelle Asha Cooper, went much further, claiming that as part of such efforts to increase voter registration among their students, universities may use work-study funds \u2014 which are <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/programs\/fws\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">used<\/a> to provide part-time campus jobs to help students with tuition costs \u2014 to pay students to \u201csupport voter registration activities.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Having taxpayers fund get-out-the-vote activities that support Democrats in this way had previously not been allowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a student is employed directly by a postsecondary institution, the institution may compensate a student for [Federal Work Study] employment involving voter registration activities that take place on or off-campus,\u201d Cooper\u2019s letter reads.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper directed colleges to expand their roles in the electoral process, such as by becoming voting sites and supplying locations for ballot drop boxes. She told colleges and universities to coordinate their activities with local election officials.<\/p>\n<p>Jones said such instructions were \u201cproblematic,\u201d adding that the use of work-study funds to facilitate college voter registration campaigns is clearly a way for the left to \u201charvest young liberal votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The work-study scheme was just one of many ways the Biden administration had agencies get involved in voting activities that benefit the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, in March 2021, President Joe Biden issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/03\/07\/executive-order-on-promoting-access-to-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive order<\/a> requiring federal agencies to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/23\/yes-biden-is-hiding-his-plan-to-rig-the-2022-midterm-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interfere in state election processes<\/a>.
