More than two dozen states (click here) have refused to fully comply with a sweeping and unprecedented White House request to turn over voter registration data, including sensitive information like partial Social Security numbers, party affiliation and military status.
Overall, the states that have said they will not be complying at all with the Kobach commission's request represent over 30 percent of the nation's population. That could complicate any efforts to build a truly national voter file, although it remains unclear what the commission's ultimate goal is in collecting the data...
There are separations of powers in the USA Constitution. The Executive Branch cannot act as if a judge to decide cases of voter fraud. That is the responsibility of the US Supreme Count and THE LOWER COURTS.
Buoy, oh , buoy; as soon as Trump sniffs a hint of victory on a travel ban, he starts pushing his luck all over again.
The disgust expressed in Amendment 14, Section 2 of the US Constitution levels most egregious the crime of voter tapering.
...when the right to vote (click here) at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States , or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, as the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such Statis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State....
Trump is demanding from the states all their information regarding voter roles. That is not the function of the federal government. The states, but, primarily, local, legal, sovereign districts have the right to govern the vote. It is the most efficient use of local authority that exists under law. Who better to understand it's community than the precinct captain?
Section 2 of the 14th Amendment is very clear as to the integrity of the vote and if found tampering with the vote, the state loses seats in the US House as it is scaled to US Census data.
So, I would think if the White House is going to play silly games they consult with their constitutional scholars to UNDERSTAND THE LAW OF THE LAND!
If there is a US President in history more corrupt than Donald Trump, it is not known to me.
