The election has nothing to do with it. It would help if people actually read the articles attached (which says nothing about the election).

USDA halts $615,000 worth of food meant for Milwaukee's Hunger Task Force
The Hunger Task Force says the U.S. Department of Agriculture has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide.


WEST MILWAUKEE, Wis. —
Milwaukee's Hunger Task Force says $615,000 worth of food it was expecting this summer has been canceled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The Hunger Task Force, a nonprofit food pantry in West Milwaukee, tells WISN 12 News the USDA has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide.

According to the Hunger Task Force, that $500 million in funding came from the USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation, which provides additional resources to purchase food from American farmers and ranchers and send it to emergency food providers.

Two orders from the Commodity Credit Corporation were set to be received between June and September, totaling $2.2 million worth of food for the entire state of Wisconsin.
