State Level DOGE Inspired Task Forces Watchlist

As of 2025 state and county level task forces begun popping up across the United States. While some have picked less conspicuous official names such as “Red Tape Relief Project” and “Fiscal Responsibility Program,” all were announced as “DOGE-inspired.”

There is 100% a reason a gigantic shadow network of wealthy individuals linked to the heritage foundation is quietly pushing policies at state levels across the country while hiding behind claims of small government and transparency.

By the time the federal government completely collapses they will have everything in place to start over with their new network of support built and ready to go: New laws, new military forces, a new secret police (DOGE task forces), and a new America created to protect the interests of the wealthiest individuals and corporations on the planet. This has been in the works for decades, and even if we can't stop them, we should not be quiet about this, and we should definitely not be making things any easier on them. When you see something, make some noise and help me call this shit out!

Current list of state task forces that are constantly growing:

•Florida

•Georgia

•Iowa

•Kansas

•Kentucky

•Louisiana (Fiscal Responsibility Program)

•Missouri

•Montana (Red Tape Relief Project)

•New Hampshire

•North Carolina

•North Dakota

•Oklahoma

•South Carolina

•Tennessee (State level and at least one county level in Hamilton County)

•Texas

•Wisconsin

This is a place to report or discuss any news related to these groups or for news and discussion of any corruption going on at smaller levels. Even outside of the United States. If you have an example of smaller level corruption that needs to be called out, drop it here.

Hundreds of New Orleans residents showed up to vote Saturday in the Crescent Soil and Water Conservation District election only to find all the available ballots had already been cast.

The race, between the incumbent, urban farmer Erica “Sage” Johnson of Orleans Parish, and Lloyd Landry IV, a commercial fishing captain from St. Charles Parish, will decide who represents the district covering Orleans, Jefferson and St. Charles parishes.

The district's five-member board works with landowners to manage resources, including water, soil, forests and wildlife. There are 44 districts across the state and they fall under the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

Interesting... 🤔

Voting is a right. These people are being denied their rights

Is there not some process in place for this scenario? Like print some more fucking ballots. I'm betting the commercial bastard wins if this is left to stand.

Come on! It's not like voting or printing have been around for very long. New Orleans still has to work out the kinks.

What does it even mean when the printer says, "Politics load letter"‽

The district said ahead of the election that only 300 ballots would be available at each of the eight polling places throughout the three parishes and urged voters to come early.

Oh, so they knew it would be a problem, and did it wrong on purpose.

Jail.

So, if they showed up early, then a different group of voters would be disenfranchised. But I guess it would be their fault because they should have shown up even earlier. But if they showed up even earlier....

I'm sure if the vote doesn't go the way they wanted, it'll be called a "clerical error" and they'll call for a do-over

If it DOES go the way they want, well shrug sorry, nothing to be done, it was just a simple clerical error, no need to get upset.

I feel like asking there be enough ballots available in preparation for the possibility every registered voter might want to vote (or at least have some kind of alternative back up planned) isn't asking too much

Actually, just found out the candidate I would have voted for won, but even so, I don't really trust that they're not just hoping to keep the heat off of them bc this has gotten attention. I feel like it sends a message that inhibiting democracy is tolerated, and probably should still have a re-do.

One would think. I would happily lend my printer and paper to make a bunch more ballots.

This is criminal election tampering plain and simple.

Petty corruption and the South. A tale as old as time.
