2. Here from the article:

Election offices in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Utah, and Wisconsin confirmed to the AP that they received letters from the voting section requesting their statewide voter registration lists. At least one other, Oklahoma, received the request by phone.

4. Lot of blue or purple states there.

[harumph]

3. The DOJ needs to be told to fuck themselves

[Tribetime]

8. Yes tell them to fuck off

[harumph]

10. that would be for the states.

DOJ = TRUMP

Let's not pretend there's rule of law anymore. There's "laws," sure, but no "rule."

5. First of all, it's the counties that keep voters list

Not states

Registered voters names and addresses are a matter of public record but the feds are asking for way more personal information than that including ss numbers, phone numbers, I am not sure why the election board would even have that information

7. Can't speak to other states...

...but in Virginia, although it's managed by the counties, all voter registration data is also sent up the state level.

6. It's what the fascist squatting in the O.Office TRIED

to do during his first occupation, by creating a so-called "Election Integrity" commission (facetiously named as maga fascists always do), for the sole purpose of getting personal info on every registered voter in America.

Back then, the dictator wannabe had to scrap the idea when states refused to be DUPED into complying. This time, not so certain.

9. FUCK NO!

No state should cooperate with these evil fucks!
