Inslee rejects White House request for detailed voter data
Many state election officials are pushing back hard against a request by President Trump's Voter Fraud Commission for detailed personal information about voters in every state - including Washington State Governor Jay Inslee.
The rocky reception follows a letter by the Trump administration asking all 50 states to provide their voter data: names, addresses, dates of birth, party affiliations and even, in some cases, the last four digits of social security numbers.
On Friday, Washington Governor Jay Inslee on Twitter said he spoke with Secretary of State Kim Wyman.
"My fear is that this request will on further the President's unfounded claims about voter fraud and will be used for voter suppression," said Inslee.
"I can assure you that our state won't share any information that isn't already accessible to the public," he tweeted. "Personal information like social security numbers, email addresses and driver's license numbers will be protected."
