Maryland elections officials deny Trump request for voter data

Source: Baltimore Sun

Maryland elections officials on Monday denied the Trump administration's request for personal information about the state's voters as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged voter fraud.

Linda H. Lamone, Maryland's elections administrator, rejected the request for information after receiving an opinion from Attorney General Brian E. Frosh, who called Trump's investigation "repugnant."

"The assistant attorneys general representing the State Board of Elections have considered the request to the Board for the personal information of millions of voters and have determined that the requested disclosure is prohibited by law," Frosh said in a statement. "I find this request for the personal information of millions of Marylanders repugnant; it appears designed only to intimidate voters and to indulge President Trump's fantasy that he won the popular vote."

Join, or Die

Join, or Die is a political cartoon, drawn by Benjamin Franklin and first published in his Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754. The original publication by the Gazette is the earliest known pictorial representation of colonial union produced by a British colonist in America. It is a woodcut showing a snake cut into eighths, with each segment labeled with the initials of one of the American colonies or regions. New England was represented as one segment, rather than the four colonies it was at that time. Delaware was not listed separately as it was part of Pennsylvania. Georgia, however, was omitted completely. Thus, it has eight segments of snake rather than the traditional 13 colonies. The two northernmost British American colonies at the time, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, were not represented, nor were any British Caribbean possessions. The cartoon appeared along with Franklin's editorial about the "disunited state" of the colonies, and helped make his point about the importance of colonial unity. This cartoon was used in the French and Indian War to symbolize that the colonies needed to join together with the Kingdom of Great Britain to defeat the French and Indians. It became a symbol of colonial freedom during the American Revolutionary War.

Three more states refuse Trump commission's voter data request

By Ian Simpson | WASHINGTON

Maryland, Delaware and Louisiana on Monday joined a growing number of U.S. states that have refused to hand over voter data to a commission established by President Donald Trump to investigate possible voting fraud.

More than 20 states, including Virginia, Kentucky, California, New York and Massachusetts, have declined to provide some or all of the information that the panel requested, saying it was unnecessary and violated privacy.

Republican Trump created the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in May after making unsubstantiated claims that millions of people voted illegally for his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, in last November's election.

Calling the request "repugnant," Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh said in a statement that his office had advised the State Board of Elections that the commission's request was illegal.

The request "appears designed only to intimidate voters and to indulge President Trump’s fantasy that he won the popular vote," Frosh said.
