Judge denies demand for privacy assessment on Trump voter fraud data request

July 25, 2017 by Paul Spoerry 3 Comments



Trump voting commission wins right to collect state voter data
“The Commission is putting at risk the privacy of millions of registered voters.”

A federal judge on Monday refused to block President Donald Trump's advisory panel from demanding that the states hand over their registered voters' full names, political affiliations, addresses, dates of birth, criminal records, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, and other personal identifying information, including whether they voted in elections the past decade.

The judge limited the commission to collecting only what each state could provide according to its own privacy laws and as many as 44 states said they can't provide it under their own state laws.

Trump claims that millions of votes were cast illegally in favor of Clinton and that's why this needs to be done.

    So basically they ruled that they can ask for it but no one has to provide it.

    That doesn't sound like a bad thing. How many times do we hear complaints that federal courts are overreaching and that <insert topic here> should be handled on a state level to better represent different regions?

    That's not to say that Trump isn't an idiot and that his claim isn't completely baseless, but at this point, we're all tired of hearing/saying this broken record.

    The 44 states objecting have said they cannot comply with ALL of the request. But that still means states will hand over some, just not all, data requested. Some of the data requested includes: names, the last four digits of Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates, political affiliation, felony convictions, and voting histories.

    Also… seems pretty disingenuous when Trump defended the mission of the commission at its first meeting Wednesday by saying, "we want to make America great again. We have to protect the integrity of the vote and our voters."

    o_0 Oh really… all of our intelligence agencies have said Russia did that but he seems keen on making that go away, while there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
