Help me out, because I don't feel like reading too much today. But, is the government wanting names, social security numbers, voting history, etc.???
White House request on voter information from states?
- Thread starter MountaineerWV
- Start date
Name and address only. Anybody can acquire voting rolls. That's how they know where to send campaign ads. It's easier to acquire rolls for a mayoral or gubernatorial campaign, but we''re talking Nationwide here. A little assistance would be nice. Dims are refusing in cases where they control precincts. Why? Not a good look.
There is a Federal Database that has the names of 14 or 16 million illegals (can't remember which.) It would be interesting to see how many of these people voted. The integrity of our democratic system was of the utmost importance in the last debate.
Ok, I quickly Googled the request and came across this......so is this "fake"?
The Presidential Commission on Voter Integrity sent what some experts called an alarming letter this week to all 50 states and Washington, D.C., asking officials, including those in the home states of the panel's chairs, to turn over "publicly-available voter roll data."
However, the panel is also seeking sensitive information, including "dates of birth, political party (if recorded in your state), last four digits of social security number if available, voter history (elections voted in) from 2006 onward, active/inactive status, cancelled status, information regarding any felony convictions, information regarding voter registration in another state, information regarding military status, and overseas citizen information."

The second sentence is contrary to what I heard from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's mouth.
Who's more credible, the politician or whatever publication you cut and pasted? Tough call.
So, the secretary of state's from those not agreeing to do this are lying? This sounds a lot like "Big Government" if you ask me.......something that Republicans strongly opposed.
What Secretaries of State? WTF are you talking about, a portion of the unidentified article that you DIDN'T paste?
First off, you said that Kansas Sec. of State's statement didn't lead you to believe they would want the information I provided from my article I found. Here's something I found:
Kobach also requested that each state provide "publicly available voter roll data" as allowed under each state's laws, which could include full names of registered voters, dates of birth, party registration, last four digits of Social Security numbers and voting history.
Then this:
Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, a Republican, said of Kobach's letter: "My reply would be: They can go jump in the Gulf of Mexico, and Mississippi is a great state to launch from. Mississippi residents should celebrate Independence Day and our state's right to protect the privacy of our citizens by conducting our own electoral processes."
Then this (D.C. Statement):
‘‘The best thing I can do to instill confidence among DC residents in our elections is to protect their personally identifiable information from the Commission on Election Integrity. Its request for voter information, such as social security numbers, serves no legitimate purpose and only raises questions on its intent. I will join leaders of states around the country and work with our partners on the Council to protect our residents from this intrusion,’’ Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a statement.
Then this:
‘‘As the commonwealth’s secretary of state and chief election official, I do not intend to release Kentuckians’ sensitive personal data to the federal government,’’ Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes said in a statement. ‘‘The president created his election commission based on the false notion that ‘voter fraud’ is a widespread issue. It is not.’’
This is an example of "Big Government"......
Elections are protected to the state under something.......the Constitution. [thumbsup]
#BigGovernment
They are operating under each states constitution you dope. Learn how to fuking read.
But Federal Government asking for that information = Big Government..........[eyeroll].........overstepping it's Constitutional bounds.
Why do they need to know all my secure information? My voting tendencies? Are we going to start voting with people watching over our shoulders.......
It doesn't seem like most states are complying with this request. Commission is just to create a "problem" where one doesn't exist, so that the voting pool can be thinned of people that make several states harder to win.
It is hard to justify ones faux outrage over Russian interference in our elections if one opposes if you dont support the effort to stop any potential avenues for actual vote fraud.
The state of WV has temoved almost 100k names from voter roles in the past months.

Each state needs to tackle it, I think Trump is trying to determine a standard way to approach it.
Obviously each state needs to track it. This commission is keeping track of what the states are doing. The feds cannot cleanse state voter roles, only the states can do so by their own constitutional means.
Big problem......the Constitution DOES NOT ALLOW HIM to do so............I thought Republicans loved and respected the Constitution?
There is nothing unconstitutional here crazy crazy.Big problem......the Constitution DOES NOT ALLOW HIM to do so............I thought Republicans loved and respected the Constitution?
Not YET.......but if Trump were to attempt to "force" state to comply, then yes.......
Pffft, tie it to state highway funds or something, it'll work. Obama taught us that.
This post is accurate. If there is a class action law suit against the WV SOS, I'll be joining.
22 states have said "go f'uck yourself."
You should definitely join a lawsuit against the WV SOS for doing his job. You are that stupid.
If a problem doesnt exist why are states cleansing voter rolls by the tens of thousands? There are a lot of problems with our voter registration. If everyone is truly concerned with insuring against voter fraud why give anyone a means to perform it.

It's just lazy book keeping, IMO. Good they purge the rolls, but they're on there because it wasn't a threat.
If you put fear in the minds of people about things that are not a real threat or problem, they ignore the real problems long enough.........[thumbsup]
There is plenty of evidence of people using names on voter rolls that didnt belong there. Can you provide evidence to the contrary?
Or some people can actually use more tha .05% of their brain and can recognize more than 1 problem at a time. Time to take your meds again oldfart.
