Demand for voter rolls shows ugly truth

By Joshua Douglas
Updated 11:15 PM ET, Fri June 30, 2017

... one of Kobach's .. policy goals is to repeal .. Motor-Voter, which makes it easier to register ... He also supports strict proof of citizenship requirements .. that make it harder for .. people to vote -- with zero corresponding "integrity benefit" ...

If Kobach and his commission were serious about improving our election system, his integrity panel would be truly bipartisan, much like President Barack Obama's Presidential Commission on Election Administration was four years ago. The co-chairs were Obama's main election lawyer and Mitt Romney's main election lawyer, and the commission came up with unanimous, bipartisan solutions to our nation's election woes, offering practical solutions to reduce long lines.

If Trump's commission were a serious endeavor, it would include top election experts from both sides of the aisle ...

If this commission were genuine, it would consider ways to make it easier to vote and enhance the election system, such as through automatic voter registration or by increasing early voting opportunities ...

Republicans can only win via voter suppression and gerrymandering Congressional districts. They are unable to win on issues because their positions suck.

They are not gonna get much support to release Voter information from ether side.
The Republicans Tried to trash the Census bureau and Told people not to give any info to them
because Big Government was invading their privacy.
Democrats are thinking they gonna use it for redistricting and provide more info to Russian Hackers.
The Cons want to Make Government so small they could drown it in a Bathtub. but
they want it big enough to service their Interest.
