Good news. Good for Arkansas. Wonderful that red states are joining the resistance!

41 states have announced they won’t share the private data, a member of the panel has resigned and a privacy advocacy group has filed suit against the commission.

n counting…

they aren’t, they are more so afraid of the lawsuits.

The why doesn’t matter to me. The cosmetics of their refusals are great.

Slightly related: A car ran a stop sign in my city, t-boned another car, and killed the driver and seriously injured two occupants. The local police had local news outlets append their stories with a request for witnesses (phone number provided) to the accident to come forward, as the circumstances needed more fully explained than what was possible in a post-accident investigation.

What are the chances an illegal or undocumented immigrant that saw this accident comes forward and offers to help the police?

What would the chances have been he/she offered to help 1 year ago?

Good. This is exactly the response this overreach and bogus request deserve. To put it simply. there is NO “widespread voter fraud” in this country. Never has been and never will be. This is pure GOP propaganda, aka a “lie.” Their real aim is voter suppression and preventing people from voting for Democrats. Villainous, cheating bastards. #resist

Born of self- preservation but still a kick to Kobach’s ego is always welcome

Oh my, you mean there is actually an elected Repuglican official who acts responsibly when it comes to the well-being and rights of his constituents?

Who’d 'a thunk it?

Up to 44 states (CNN 5 July).
“Just three states – Colorado, Missouri and Tennessee – commended Kobach’s attempt to investigate voter fraud in their respective statements.”

What’s kind of odd to me is that NC was one of the states that supposedly refused to give info, yet you can sort of find a lot of it pretty easy if you go here:

https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/

type in a first and last name and click the “I’m not a robot” box and you can find the info below plus voter history as far as which primaries and elections you voted in pretty far back. Mine goes back to 2000.
And pretty funny I tried Richard Weed and two came up in NC!

Glad to see this. The children are starting to turn against themselves.

"I continue to have confidence in the Secretary of State’s efforts to ensure that Arkansas’ elections are free and fair.”

I would have that confidence for every election – but for the pervasive voter suppression efforts Republicans have implemented over the past decade.

I’ll see your Gov. Huckabee, and raise you a Mr. Creosote.

At this point I’m more interested in knowing which states ARE cooperating with this panel.

Anybody know?

Kobach sent the Illinois letter to the SoS office–wrong department. It arrived at the correct department, the Board of Elections, this morning.

Too bad for Kobach that the next BoE meeting isn’t until Aug. 22. It’ll take up the matter then.

Though there are states strangely giving up ‘publically accessible’ data (why?/who knows?), he is currently 0 for, in regards to private data.
