Three states are still reviewing the commission's request and another three states have not returned CNN's request for comment
Seven states are still awaiting a letter from the commission, but four of them have already pledged not to provide voters' private information

Washington, DC (CNN)Forty-one states have defied the Trump administration's request for private voter information, according to a CNN inquiry to all 50 states.
State leaders and voting boards across the country have responded to the letter with varying degrees of cooperation -- from altogether rejecting the request to expressing eagerness to supply information that is public.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, vice chairman of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which President Donald Trump created by executive order in May, sent a letter to all 50 states last Wednesday requesting a bevy of voter data, which he notes will eventually be made available to the public.

The order came months after Trump claimed without evidence that millions had voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election. ..............

Kentucky secretary of state: 'There's not enough bourbon here in Kentucky' to justify White House request for voter info

Bryan Logan Jun. 30, 2017

Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Grimes sounded off on the voter-fraud commission in charge of investigating a claim by President Donald Trump that millions of illegal ballots were cast in the 2016 election.

Grimes appeared on MSNBC Friday, after her office rejected the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity's request for sensitive data on individual registered voters.

The information, according to a letter the commission's vice-chair Kris Kobach sent to all 50 states on Wednesday, would be placed in a national public database.

"There's not enough bourbon here in Kentucky to make this request seem sensible," Grimes said.

The Kentucky secretary of state said the information requested is something "no American in their right mind would hand over, let alone hand over to President Trump — someone who likes to tweet 140 characters at a time."

"Not on my watch are we gonna be turning over something that's left to the states to run — elections are left to our states under the 10th Amendment — to the federal government."

Several civil rights groups and lawmakers have come out against a federal "election integrity" commission established by President Donald Trump that wants states to hand over detailed personal information about U.S. voters. The request was made by Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and vice chair of Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.
