(THE COLLEGE FIX) — Republican leaders are responding with skepticism to the Biden administration’s plans to hire students to register voters and work in polling places.
New Department of Education guidance states Federal Work-Study funds “may be used for employment by a Federal, State, local, or Tribal public agency for civic engagement work that is not associated with a particular interest or group.”
Students may be hired for “broad-based get-out-the-vote activities, voter registration, providing voter assistance at a polling place or through a voter hotline, or serving as a poll worker,” according to the memo.
