Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Brian Kemp’s name comes up at some point, I don’t think any state wants to catch a lawsuit from the usual suspects.

Why Texas, of course. They’ll probably call Kobach and ask what additional information they want.

[edit] BTW: Washington SoS is still researching the legality of the request now a No.

Wow, red states, too. When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. States rights run bipartisan amok.

So all in all Kobach’s little fishing expedition is going very well so far.
Evidently there really is a reason it’s called “fishing” and not “catching.”

I’m sure someone has already mentioned this, but if not: it would be dee-lish irony is states that did comply with the Borg were Confederate ones.

ETA: Now this is a ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ moment if there ever was one.

A reminder that we’re all literally paying for the existence of this ‘election integrity’ commission.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Its pretty clear that Kolbach, a Secretary of State, is asking other states to break their laws to give him private, personal information of their voters. This is a guy who has already been cited by the courts for voter suppression. How can any state justify giving such a charater any part of anyone’s social security number?

Thank God my Secretary of State is a Democrat.

“
Again, we don’t know why they want this.”

I call BS. You know exactly why they want that information.

I hate anything Rupert Murdoch owns, but the NY Post got it right here. An editorial even Trump can understand

Just when you think that Kobach has hit bottom in his loathsomeness, he crawls out from under a rock and proves you wrong.
