Correcting mail-in ballots counts as voter fraud
Voter fraud includes unlawful practices concerning voter registration and ballot correction. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 mandates provisional ballots only for eligible voters who were not on a state's voter registration list. It does not apply to
those who registered for mail-in voting but whose ballots were rejected due to some form of spoliation. The law in Pennsylvania clearly states that no county may affirmatively provide provisional ballots: The mail-in voter must vote in person and
sign a new affidavit. In the 2020 election, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recognized that "the Election Code contains no requirement that voters whose ballots are deemed inadequately verified be apprised of this fact. Thus, unlike in-person voters,
mail-in or absentee voters are not provided any opportunity to cure perceived defects in a timely manner." The Pennsylvania Secretary of State should have been (and still should be) investigated and prosecuted for potential violations of 18 US Code S241.

Terminate federal FEMA emergency grants; switch to states
FEMA manages all grants for DHS, and these grants have become pork for states, localities, and special-interest groups. Since 2002, DHS/FEMA have provided more than $56 billion in preparedness grants for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments.
For FY 2023, President Biden requested more than $3.5 billion for federal assistance grants.Funds provided under these programs do not provide measurable gains for preparedness or resiliency. Rather, more than any objective needs, political interests
appear to direct the flow of non-disaster funds. States better understand their unique needs and should bear the costs of their particularized programs. FEMA employees in Washington should not determine how billions of federal tax dollars should be
awarded. DHS should not be in the business of handing out federal tax dollars: These grants should be terminated. Accomplishing this, however, will require action by Members of Congress who repeatedly vote to fund grants for political reasons.

Joe Biden:
Protect democracy against MAGA's Project 2025
Donald Trump and his MAGA allies plan to reward political violence, prosecute political opponents, and pardon January 6 insurrectionists:- Trump and his allies are threatening to prosecute his political opponents if he wins another term.
-
Trump has made the violent January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol a "cornerstone" of his campaign, and he has promised to pardon and "free" the criminals who violently attacked the Capitol under his encouragement, knowing that this will only
encourage more violence.
- He has threatened to deport protestors exercising their free speech rights.
- He has shared videos online that that call for violence against journalists and a "Unified Reich".
- And Project 2025 outlines a plan to
reclassify thousands of federal workers so they can easily be fired by Trump for simply not doing his wishes (pg 80).
While Donald Trump and his MAGA allies attack our democracy, Joe Biden is protecting it.

Heritage Foundation:
Fire federal employees who participate in CRT or DEI
Under the Biden Administration, the Treasury Department has established an Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, and created an office for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEI). All these should be eliminated. The next conservative
Administration should take affirmative steps to expose and eradicate the practice of critical race theory and DEI throughout the Treasury Department.These steps will include: - Identify every Treasury official who participated in DEI initiatives
and ensure that such initiatives are completely ended.
- Make public immediately all communications relating to critical race theory and DEI initiatives.
- Treat the participation in any critical race theory or DEI initiative,
without objecting on constitutional or moral grounds, as per se grounds for termination of employment.
- Expose and make public all training materials and initiatives designed to single out any race, ethnicity, or sex for special treatment.
