Hundreds of voters un-register after Trump voter fraud panel demands info

Source: The Hill

Hundreds of voters are responding to the possibility their information will be shared with President Trump’s election integrity panel by withdrawing their voter registration, according to a Friday report.

In Colorado, one of the states that is complying with part of the commission request, two clerks have seen a significant increase in voters withdrawing their voter registration, Denver’s ABC affiliate reported.

In Denver, one clerk has seen a 2,150 percent increase in people withdrawing as voters over the past since July 3 compared to the first non-holiday week before.

Colorado allows voters to withdraw online or make their information confidential by paying a fee.

and re-register after the 14th....

Don't assume those informed enough to be concerned are not fully aware of how to preserve their rights.

redeem the coupon or whatever for a variety of reasons, even though the rebate was a factor in the purchase.
This will apply here too.
Each and every one of these folks probably plan to re-register but some will not for a variety of reasons.
This is the % win Trump's team was hoping for, like a rebate from Firestone.

How to become a ‘confidential voter’ before data is released to Trump’s commission

http://kdvr.com/2017/07/05/how-to-become-a-confidential-voter-before-information-is-released-to-trumps-commission/




*****NOTE: TIME SENSITIVE You must go in person to your voter registrar office BEFORE July 14! I just did and there were a half dozen others doing the same. A $5 charge, but worth it imo. The clerk typed the info in as I stood there and shredded the form I filled out. ********

If you can manage to suppress the vote, by whatever means, it favors Republicans.

My guess is that more than half of them are republican teabaggers. They are the ones that don't want the gubberment to know anything about them. If that could be proved, they'd have to drop it.

Degistering does not erase the info. Worse, it just validates the talking point that there are fraudulent voters.
