Forty-one states have refused Kobach's request for voter information

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 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.
That information sought included registrants' full names, addresses, dates of birth, political parties, the last four digits of their social security numbers, a list of the elections they voted in since 2006, information on any felony convictions, information on whether they were registered to vote in other states, their military status, and whether they lived overseas.

Once they give over their voter registration data, there's no going back.
There's no way to protect the privacy of their citizens' data either, because it will be all over the internet.
This should be fought in court, and I'm sure that federal judges would strike it down if it did go to court.
The White House has no legal precedent for this, and it's information they're aren't entitled to have.
Even the RED states are in agreement on this.
They want to match up our social security # with name, address, party affiliation and voting record.
So with a very short search they can seek out all Democratic voters who are also receiving government benefits, or Medicare, etc.
What do you think they'd do with that info?
