A privacy group has filed an emergency request trying to block the Trump election integrity commission’s demand for states to turn over voter data, saying the information, if made public, would be a severe invasion of Americans’ rights.


The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed its lawsuit Monday afternoon in federal district court in D.C., and Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has set a speedy schedule, with the administration’s reply due by Wednesday afternoon.


The lawsuit is the latest resistance to the voter commission, run by Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Mr. Kobach’s letter last week requesting voter information from all 50 states — including names, dates of birth, addresses, voting and registration history and partial Social Security numbers — has set of a firestorm of criticism.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Good.
The feds should not be given this intrusion into states' business.

I guess if worse comes to worse they could just order the Feds to turn over what the Obama administration had already gathered.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Newspapers rip Trump voter fraud panel in July 4th editorials

 By Max Greenwood  - 07/04/17 11:44 AM EDT
 

Some of the country's largest newspapers seized on the Fourth of July to rip President Trump's voter fraud commission, accusing the White House of fostering voter suppression under the guise of cracking down on a virtually nonexistent problem.

"As the nation marks 241 years of independence, the most pressing voting issue should be getting those tens of millions of nonparticipating Americans registered and to the polls, so that their voices can be heard," The New York Times' editorial board wrote.

"If the paranoid voter-fraud crusaders devoted a fraction of their inquisitorial energy to solving that vexing problem, now that would be something to celebrate," the paper's board added.

The Chicago Sun-Times cast the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity as a political tool "looking for any scrap of information that might support Trump’s unfounded claim that millions of people illegally cast ballots in 2016."

In doing so, the Sun-Times' editorial board wrote, Trump's commission "would further efforts to suppress the vote in future elections."

The commission, created by executive order in May, was painted as an effort to restore faith in the integrity of U.S. elections, particularly by investigating Trump's widely debunked claim that millions of illegally cast ballots cost him the popular vote in 2016.

But a letter last week, sent by the commission's vice chairman, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, requesting that states provide troves of voter data to the panel was met with widespread defiance.

More than half of the country's secretaries of state have either declined to provide all the information requested by the commission, including driver's license and Social Security numbers, or flatout refused to turn anything over.

USA Today's editorial board had a different Independence Day take on Trump's voter fraud panel. In probing potential illegal voting, it wrote, the president is failing to address a greater threat to American election integrity: Russian meddling.

Kobach: Reports about voter commission problems are 'fake news'

 By Ben Kamisar and John Bowden - 07/05/17 05:37 PM EDT


The Trump administration ripped into what it called "fake news" reports Wednesday about states refusing to cooperate with its request for voter registration data.

The statement from election integrity commission vice chairman Kris Kobach, Kansas's secretary of state, comes as an increasing number of states refuse to provide all of the voter information requested by President Trump's panel.

Kobach announced Wednesday that 36 states have agreed to or are considering cooperating with the White House's request.

"While there are news reports that 44 states have 'refused to provide voter information to the Commission, those reports are patently false, more 'fake news,'" Kobach wrote.

"Only 14 states and the District of Columbia have refused the Commission's request for publicly available voter information."
That request, sent to states last week, prompted serious pushback from many secretaries of state, many of whom accused the commission of overstepping its bounds.

Just reading that Colorado is going to provide the T administration with the information requested.
HOWEVER, you can apply to be a CONFIDENTIAL VOTER.  And your data will not be released.
Sounds like a plan!!!
