NY refuses to perpetuate the myth voter fraud played a role in our election. We will not comply with this request.

1. Yeah for New York State

2. That's Mario's boy! (Sometimes he doesn't live up to his father's legacy. But this is one of the

times he is.)

9. Indeed. Not my favorite Cuomo, but he did good this time. eom

[atreides1]

3. Virginia and New York

Two of the 13 original states said no...now if only the other 11 would follow and do the same thing!!!

[Corvo Bianco]

4. California refused as well. n/t

[tblue37]

5. North Carolina won't provide any info not already publicly available. nt

7. Apparently, Mass just opted out, too...

10. Saw a post on Twitter that PA would not comply.

It was from someone who called Cortes' office. Nothing official from Gov. Wolf yet.

11. Kentucky and (I believe) Connecticut also told them to pound sand

6. Good for my gov! If they want public info for this bs they can...

bloody well dig it up for themselves. If they want voters private information they can go pound salt.

Any state gov or SoS that caves to this nonsense that was created purely to appease Trump's ego and his moronic base, not to mention will very likely be used to chip away at our constitutional right to vote, is a damn fool.

8. This is a backdoor attempt to shoehorn Crosscheck into blue states...

Haven't heard from my gov/sos yet, but I suspect they will tell Trump to pound sand, too. (WA)

[WePurrsevere]

13. I just recently ran across the name Crosscheck...

This definitely sounds like something they're trying to do.

It should be scrapped not spread further.

You might have seen these before but they might be of interest to others so I thought I'd share here.

And this next article is about the head of Trump's bs commitee who's been a major player in voter suppression laws and Crosscheck (it's where I first heard of Crosscheck). This jerk proudly proclaims that he's the 'ACLUs worst nightmare' so he must really loathe our rights & Constitution. (Gads but I'd like to send all these pseudo 'patriots'... traitors... to Russia where they belong.)

15. Thank you for the link. Important read.

This bald faced effort to make an enemy's list is actually frightening.

Until now, no President ( meaning, in this case, his minions) no President would have dreamed of doing this.
The fact the idea even came up tells us a whole lot about how dangerous he and Russian gang members are.

People need to organize calls to their SOS and Gov. against this.

16. The possibility is frightening and...

Once they have all this information what's to stop them from selling the list to an org like the NRA who recently created an ad inciting its members to do violence against their perceived 'enemy'... us.

While some of the info they're requesting is available to the public I don't think the states should make it easy on these jerks by handing it to them on a platter. There's some info requested that's not public and there's no way the states should give that out to an obviously partisan bunch that would abuse it.

12. Of course not!

[ailsagirl]

14. Excellent!!

I hope this sets an overwhelming trend

17. Strong statement by Governor Cuomo.

There is strength in numbers. They should continue to resist!
