- The federal authorities showing up at your front door to demand to see your papers (people with a Hispanic or middle-eastern sounding name should be especially alarmed, although anyone not registered GOP is at risk)
- Scrubbing your name from the state voter registration database if you share the same name with another person in your state
- Targeting certain regions or groups that aren't majority republican for voter suppression
You just made all this stuff up. None of it is real. It came from your imagination. Good example of fake news.
President Trump's voter fraud commission will not be getting the names and addresses of California's registered voters. The panel's request was denied on Thursday by Secretary of State Alex Padilla, who said it would only "legitimize" false claims of massive election cheating last fall.

You might have heard about Trump's request for vital voter data about every voter from all 50 states. What you may not know is the information that's being requested. The administration is asking for:
- Name
- Birth date
- Partial social security number
- Party affiliation
- Address

Everyone should be alarmed about this Federal overreach. Until the administration tells the American people exactly how its going to use this data, and how it will be protected, there is no good reason for states to share.
Without knowing how the data will be used, we need to think about the worst-case scenarios, which could include:
- The federal authorities showing up at your front door to demand to see your papers (people with a Hispanic or middle-eastern sounding name should be especially alarmed, although anyone not registered GOP is at risk)
- Scrubbing your name from the state voter registration database if you share the same name with another person in your state
- Targeting certain regions or groups that aren't majority republican for voter suppression
Some states are already pushing back on this Federal overreach. My state, unfortunately, isn't one of them. Yet. If your state hasn't complied, please contact your secretary of state, representative and governors office and let them know that you don't want your personal information to be shared.
Our privacy and right to vote are at stake. So please call before the long weekend.
BTW - you can read more about this privacy intrusion here.

If there is nothing wrong with the request, why are so many states refusing to comply?

Aside from party affiliation, isn't this the data you need to give up to vote in the first place?

The government has this information and has had it for years.
Now if someone is using my information to vote in another state i would like to know because this information can be used for identity thief.
