Arizona to oppose handing over voter information to Trump commission

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2017/07/04/arizona-oppose-handing-over-voter-information-trump-commission/449221001/

Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan said Monday she is rejecting the Trump administration's request for extensive voter information, saying it isn't in the state's best interest.

Her decision, announced late Monday as the July 4 holiday neared, comes after nearly a thousand people had complained by email to her office about the possibility the state would hand over voter data to a commission looking into allegations of voter fraud.

It's also a reversal from her position last week.

On Friday, Reagan's office issued a statement that she would provide the White House with a less-detailed version of what it was seeking, based on media reports about what the federal commission would seek.

his own state has laws against providing what he wants.
So ironic.
So basically what he wants is illegal in most states.

... there is practically ZERO "voter fraud" in the US say several very credible sources. See CNN's article on the subject here:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/05/politics/kobach-voter-fraud/index.html

Kris Kobach and the Rethuglican State power structure, which control many of the Secretary of State offices in the 50 states, also control the electoral process in those States. Their goal is to limit as many legal, lawful voters THAT WON'T VOTE FOR GOP CANDIDATES as possible. That's it in a rancid nutshell: if you won't vote for a Republican, than Kobach and his cronies don't want you to vote, and will use every legal and quasi-legal method to limit your vote.
