Unelected bureaucrats have a well-deserved reputation for grinding things to a halt. That’s especially true when it comes to election integrity efforts.
The grinding is particularly pronounced in the movement of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14248 on “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.”
The president signed the EO on March 25. It was an urgent call to secure a wounded elections system that, contrary to assertions from left-leaning “voter rights” groups and their stooges in the accomplice media, has been anything but “the most secure in American history.”
Six months later, the work to meet the moment, to restore faith in America’s elections, has gotten bogged down in leftist-led court challenges, intransigent elections officials, and, per usual, slow-walking bureaucrats.
The frustration is growing.
“177 DAYS since @POTUS ordered new standards to secure elections,” The Republican National Lawyers Association posted on X.
“177 DAYS of @EACgov GOPers doing EVERYTHING they can within the law to adopt Pres. @realDonaldTrump‘s plan.177 DAYS of lefty, unelected bureaucrats on an ADVISORY committee abusing the law to stand in the way,” the Republican National Lawyers Association tweeted last week.”
“Disgraceful.”
