Rhode Island Joins List Of States Defying Bogus 'Election Integrity' Commission

The governor of Rhode Island said Friday that the state will not comply with a request from President Donald Trump’s shady “election integrity” commission that all 50 states hand over sensitive voter information to the federal government. The state would, she said, share publicly available information.

“No,” Rhode Island would not comply with the government’s full request, Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) said in an interview on MSNBC. “First of all, I think this is an alarming request. I don’t know where it’s coming from. We know that voter fraud is not widespread.”

“Our secretary of state last night put out a statement saying that we won’t be complying and we’re only going to share information which is otherwise publicly available,” she continued. “And I support her in that position.”

Kobach requested that states hand over a slew of information including the last four digits of voters’ Social Security numbers, felony convictions, military status and more.
