That\u2019s because congressional Democrats failed to ram through the two voting bills \u2014 HR 1 and HR 4 \u2014 that would change election rules to favor their party. Build Back Better is the party\u2019s best shot at gaining an electoral advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bill not only bankrolls nonprofit community organizations, it also enhances their clout by allowing them to hand out billions of dollars in seed money for local business startups.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a new twist, the Small Business Administration is distributing huge sums to nonprofits that will serve as \u201cincubators,\u201d disbursing funding to startup businesses in \u201cunderserved\u201d areas.

The Affordable Care Act \u2014 ObamaCare \u2014 outsourced the important job of health plan enrollment to community organizations, handsomely funding them and entrusting them to register people to vote at the same time.
