Millions Of Democratic Voters Info Will Be Lost By Fraud Commission.

The Fraud Commission will just erase all the voters they don't like. Forget "crosscheck". They want all the voter info for a particular reason. They can make sure only Republicans are registered. It would be so easy to invalidate voter registrations by altering personal information and inserting errors deliberately.

Many voters will just disappear in the the electronic either. You name will just be gone and you won't show up on the books. We are facing a national disaster.

At best certain voters will be targeted for harassment, misinformation, prosecutorial threats, hacked, their et al.

It's so blatantly obvious what they want, and millions of US voters are too fucked stupid to get what's going on!

3. Voter registration is done at the state level

The commission can't just delete voter registrations. Given how states have told the commission to bugger off, your concerns seem to be rather overstated. The sky isn't always falling.

We thought Trump had no way to win. Yet we see key states turn on suspiciously close votes.

4. They can't change voter registration information.

They can look at it, but voter registration is a state issue. That commission will not have access to the data systems used by the states. They will only have the data in them, or may have that data, depending on the individual state.

There is no mechanism by which they can alter the actual data, and every state's Secretary of State will ensure that does not happen, even in the Red states. States' Rights is a deeply-held thing, especially in Red states.

6. Voter registration is controlled by the states. Not the Fraud Commission.

The Commission doesn't have the ability to alter state-run registeration databases.

9. What they can do is flag voters they don't like through Crosscheck. Not quite the same.

While my spouse might not be flagged as his name (first and last) is one of the 25 most common names in the U.S., since my name is unusual, I could be flagged in states that use Crosscheck. Likewise, they can flag "minority sounding" names in districts where the election margin of error is close, so that they force those voters to jump through extra hoops on election day to be able to vote. If there's long lines and confusion because of a large number of flagged voters that are going to be forced to vote provisional, a good 5 - 10% of those who have critical schedules, who go to the polls during or after work to vote might not stick around the extra two or three hours. And there you go - a potential two/three point drop in the amount of Democrats voting.

A "Vote Fraud Commission" is very useful to gather state/local data for vote suppression purposes - especially when there's no actual reason to suspect widespread voter fraud.

Luckily, I live in a state that doesn't use Crosscheck.
