In reply to the discussion: Maryland Attorney General Just Blew The Lid Off Trumps Illegal Voter Fraud Commission [View all]brush
(53,778 posts)38. The primary reason for his plan, Interstate Crosscheck, is to purge POC voter names
With the info he and trump are demanding, he wouldn't have to search out just similar sounding AA, Latino and Asian names most likely to vote Dem, he could just purge similar sounding Dem names as party affiliation of each voter is on the list of info requested.
That request is much more devious than just trying to prove trump won the popular vote in 2016.

I'm not as worried by a voter purge as I am about other uses to which the data could be put.
