In a new book, former Congressman Jason Chaffetz alleges that the non-profit group VOT-ER partnered with hospitals across the country to register sedated and even psychiatric patients to vote ahead of the 2024 election. Speaking on The Drill Down podcast, Chaffetz called it a “dark money-driven” hospital voter registration controversy bankrolled by the Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundation, and the Gates Foundation.
According to Chaffetz, VOT-ER mobilized 50,000 medical professionals in over 700 hospitals to register patients—many under medication or in psychiatric care—often without their full awareness. “Forget HIPAA laws! You might not even know this was happening to you,” he warned. Chaffetz suggests the effort was politically motivated, targeting high-density Democrat-leaning populations under the guise of nonpartisan voter outreach.
The revelations come from Chaffetz’s latest book, They’re Coming For You: How Deep State Spies, NGOs, and Woke Corporations Plan To Push You Out Of The Economy, which outlines how Americans’ freedoms are being eroded through digital surveillance, data exploitation, and political targeting.
Chaffetz links the hospital registration scheme to a broader pattern of aggressive data collection and weaponization by left-wing organizations and federal agencies. He notes that similar tactics were used when the Biden administration directed federal offices like the DMV and IRS to push voter registration efforts in Democrat-leaning areas.
Chaffetz also raises alarms over how Americans’ personal data—collected by DMVs, hospitals, social media, and private companies—is bought and sold by data brokers. That data is then used by entities like the IRS, banks, and tech platforms to discriminate against individuals based on their political views, religious beliefs, or lawful gun ownership.
Examples cited include JPMorgan Chase debanking the National Committee for Religious Freedom, and PayPal targeting groups like Moms for Liberty and Dr. Joseph Mercola. Even in Florida, once considered a conservative stronghold, the state DMV was caught selling personal driver data to third parties until Governor Ron DeSantis ended the practice.
Chaffetz and hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers warn that these trends mirror China’s social credit system and could become irreversible without strong legislation. They call for a federal “right to be forgotten,” similar to privacy protections in the EU, which would allow citizens to demand deletion of their personal data.
The book paints a picture of coordinated efforts by globalist foundations, government agencies, and tech platforms to control public behavior through data harvesting, surveillance, and political pressure. Chaffetz warns that without serious reforms, the American public will remain the product in a system designed to manipulate, monitor, and ultimately control.
