| Donald Trump and Kris Kobach, getting ready to do some voter suppressing. |
Forty-one states have defied the Trump administration's request for private voter information, according to a CNN inquiry to all 50 states.
State leaders and voting boards across the country have responded to the letter with varying degrees of cooperation -- from altogether rejecting the request to expressing eagerness to supply information that is public.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, vice chairman of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which President Donald Trump created by executive order in May, sent a letter to all 50 states last Wednesday requesting a bevy of voter data, which he notes will eventually be made available to the public.
The order came months after Trump claimed without evidence that millions had voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election. When states began to express concerns about the legality of his administration's efforts to investigate voter fraud, Trump called them out on Twitter on Saturday, questioning whether they were hiding something.
Well it's nice to see that most states are standing up to this oppressive administration.
Let's face it giving Trump and his cronies our personal voter information would surely have been used to suppress the vote and alter the outcome of elections all across the nation.
And any president who came to power by way of interference in our election systems by a foreign power is certainly not going to give up the White House without using every dirty trick in the book.
