One of the nation's most prominent get-out-the-vote groups – which Taylor Swift endorsed – is experiencing a mass exodus of staff as it faces a fiscal and leadership crisis in the middle of a presidential election year, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Vote.org, which began the year with up to 20 paid positions, has lost nearly half its staff since February, when the communications director quit while expressing frustration with management, insiders tell DailyMail.com.
The chief operating officer resigned in early March and late last week five employees were let go including the vice president of development, director of partnerships, program manager, a software engineer and a junior staffer, sources said.
Now sources blame management for loss of funding, pointing to CEO Andrea Hailey who, they say, is more focused on promoting herself than the organization.
The layoffs couldn't have come at a worse time.
'It's bad for democracy when the largest voter registration organization in the country is facing internal problems in an election year and can't take advantage of what should be a fertile period for fundraising,' one insider said.
'It's also troubling for people who are really focused on preserving democracy with this election coming up.'
CEO Hailey, 43, alerted the affected staffers herself via email, giving no explanation or offer of severance.
'We regret to inform you that your employment with vote.org is terminated, effective Thursday, March 21, 2024,' reads Hailey's message, obtained by DailyMail.com.
'Due to the sensitive nature of your prior scope of work, we have terminated access to email and our systems.'

Six degrees of Taylor Swift?
Another DEI Hire, Didn’t Earn It. And according to her profile on LinkedIn, this is her first job. Great job, Andrea!

The solution is simple. Vote.org should start doing (fake) Climate Change studies as a sideline. And maybe also pretend to manufacture electric vehicles and solar panels.
The grant money will start rolling in. And it will be big money at that.

Taylor ain’t too swift?
Sounds series.And hugh.
Democracy = Communist dictatorship
She’s playing the angle. Get out the vote is a few months of work every 2-4 years. She’s gonna always be lining up her next gig. It’s not ethical or decent, but neither is politics.
And hugh.
That's the ONLY way Biden can win and most of us know this is what's going to happen. Biden hasn't closed the border for this very reason.
It is horrible when the gullible and ig norant end up
Not registering
Cue the Seinfeld, “That’s a shame”.
Cue the Seinfeld, “That’s a shame”.
“It’s bad for democracy when”...
...people need a celebrity entertainer to motivate them to vote, and have barely a clue what they’re voting for, if persuaded to do so.
Is that Taylor Swift? (Sort of looks like her, sort of doesn’t)
We don’t need voter registration groups. If people want to register to vote, that’s what their county’s elections office is for. If you have to be persuaded to vote, you probably don’t need to be voting anyway.
The first three on that list don’t do anything, and the fifth one’s job is to get coffee for the fourth one.
Old stale cookies, past their expiration date.
