Has any state AG or Governor said they would comply with Trump's Election commission request?

[Chasstev365]

My guess is that WI, MI, OH, FL and PA will. That is all they need. 😦

1. I think I heard IL was

2. Wisconsin will turn over information that is already public

if they pay $12,500, which is what they charge political campaigns who request the data. State law prohibits the release of dates of birth or Social Security numbers. http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/30/trumps-election-commission-seeks-voter-data-wisconsin-other-states/443051001/

3. New Hampshire has

I expect FL to do so. I've been faxing and calling our SOS.

5. Another Sununu as governor of NH.

Not surprising from that clan.

6. I hope someone with standing will sue. n/t

4. Texas will provide public information

[klook]

7. Georgia is supposedly providing only publicly available data,

which is a surprise given the general backward tilt of our current state government.

"The Secretary of State's office says the information to be released will include voter's name, address, race, gender, the date they registered to vote, the precinct where they are currently registered to vote, the date they last voted and the party they last voted for. Additional information, including the month and day of a voter's birth, driver's license number, Social Security number, telephone number and email address are all specifically excluded from the public voter list under a Georgia state law, and as such, will not be released to the Trump commission."

Most of this information is available here if you know the person's first initial and last name, birth date and county of registration:
https://www.mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do
... but date of last vote and party they voted for is NOT available here. It pisses me the hell off that they're providing this information, because obviously it gives these goons a list of voters to fuck with.

But hey, they're going to charge the feds for the info, so I guess we'll all be getting a hundredth of a mil tax break.

8. Michigan.....

This "Response" from Michigan's SOS Might Be Of Interest.....

9. I am pretty sure Ohio refused it nt

[Kber]

10. PA refused

[Laffy Kat]

11. CO SOS is going to.

And our Gov. is a Dem.,but SOS is a repug.

[Aristus]

12. Washington State will not.

Governor Jay Inslee is looking out for his people.

If he wants to run in 2020 as Kamala Harris's VP choice, that would be cool!...

15. Right.. and check out Rhode Island's Nellie Gorbea, Aristus..

Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea (D) took her criticism further, saying Kobach was unfit to lead the commission, given his record of strict voting laws and a recent court fine for failing to produce documents related to a lawsuit over voting laws.

“It is deeply troubling that he has been given oversight of this commission by the president,” Gorbea said.

13. Who is paying for this debacle?

Are we paying to get screwed and having the POtuS basically call people who exercise their constitutional right frauds, cheaters and liars?

[klook]

16. We pay state and federal taxes.

So we're getting screwed on both ends by these bastards.

[Cha]

14. PA wouldn't.. not with Democratic Gov Tom Wolf.

Oh in fact he had an excellent refusal..

"The right to vote is absolute and I have no confidence that you seek to bolster it," Wolf wrote, in a letter to Kris Kobach, the commission's vice chair

Wolf raised a variety of concerns about Kobach's request, saying a wholesale public disclosure would violate state law and that there's no assurance the data would be handled securely.

"Your request implies that your office may undertake a systematic effort to suppress the vote in Pennsylvania," he wrote.

17. Florida is still "reviewing" the request - my guess is that they are studying how to get

around state law regarding disclosure of confidential info.
