“Media Trackers has found federal Job Corps vans being used to bus voters to at least one polling location in the City of Milwaukee,” Brian Sikma wrote for Media Trackers. “A van with federal plates and driven by a Job Corps employee was seen pulling up to the small polling station at the Clara Barton Elementary School in urban Milwaukee shortly after 1:00 pm on Tuesday. A Job Corps administrator inside the polling place said the federal vans had brought approximately 125 Job Corps participants to the poll as of early afternoon.”
Sikma added that the administrator “declined to give his name” but the Job Corps “is a division of the United States Department of Labor, a cabinet level agency that reports directly to President Obama, who is up for re-election today and who has campaigned hard in Wisconsin in recent days.”

If they were using those vehicles to drive through the inner city rounding up black people, that would be misuse of government vehicles.
However, they were driving Job Corps people to the polls. Since you didn't include a link to the full story, I have no idea whether they were there to vote or to volunteer at the polling place. But either case does not seem inappropriate.
Did you also know that soldiers are being transported from their barracks to polling places on taxpayer funded buses? Also, anyone who uses a MetroAccess van to get to the polling place is also using taxpayer funds?
You are looking so hard for any little problem, or you are watching a news channel that is trying really hard to foment a little outrage. Either way, grow up.
