And that list is of less than 200 people and even there it's all assumption why they did not do that.

Actually the list is 6,540 people who used an out of state drivers license to same-day register to vote in New Hampshire.

196 people may have voted in two states.

Even Republicans are scoffing at Trump’s voter fraud commission

By Bob Fredericks

July 4, 2017

Red and blue states alike are thumbing their noses at President Trump’s commission to root out alleged voter fraud.

So far, 44 states have defied the administration’s request for personal voter information — including name, age, party and even the last four digits of Social Security numbers — according to CNN.

“You’re not going to play politics with Louisiana’s voter data,” said Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler, a Republican.

Mississippi Official Tells President Trump's Voter Fraud Commission to 'Go Jump in the Gulf of Mexico'

Mississippi has become the latest state to reject the request for personal data on all registered voters from President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission.

Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann's office has not yet received a request from the commission but will refuse to comply when it does receive one, joining several other states that are rejecting the request.

"They can go jump in the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi is a great state to launch from," Hosemann, a Republican, said in a statement on Friday. "Mississippi residents should celebrate Independence Day and our state's right to protect the privacy of our citizens by conducting our own electoral processes."

Well unfortunately for these people a Federal judge ruled in late July that the panel will move forward and states must provide the data.

"The court order was not a final ruling on the commission’s work, with other groups filing lawsuits and one appealing to a higher court to block its action under open records and meeting laws."



https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...al-lawsuits/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.2650eeed911c

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund complaint is at least the seventh federal lawsuit filed against the voting commission this month. The other lawsuits:



  • A suit by the American Civil Liberties Union alleging that the commission is failing to comply with federal transparency laws. The ACLU argues that the commission's first meeting, held via phone, was not open to the public and that the commission did not publicly post documents related to its operation as required by law. Three days after the ACLU suit was filed, the White House published a Web page containing many of those documents.


  • A separate lawsuit by the Florida ACLU alleging that the commission's data collection efforts amount to “an unjustified invasion of privacy not authorized under the Constitution and laws of the United States or the individual states.”

  • A similar lawsuit by the civil liberties group Public Citizen alleging that the commission's “collection and dissemination of [voter] information violates the Privacy Act, which prohibits the collection, use, maintenance or distribution of any 'record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.' ” The group is requesting a temporary restraining order on the committee's actions.

  • Similarly, the watchdog group Common Cause filed a lawsuit alleging Privacy Act violations. “Common Cause asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to order the commission, [the Department of Homeland Security], and [the Social Security Administration] to stop seeking and using the voter history and party affiliation of voters, and return any such data it has already obtained from any state,” the group announced.

In addition, several separate challenges have been filed by groups at the state level, in Indiana, New Hampshire and Idaho.
