They have requested, names, addresses, partial SSN, party affiliation and voting history
Unless the states are doing something illegal, then they have no idea who you voted for.
Australia has mandatory voting and your voting record (not who you voted for) is shared within the government because you are denied benefits and can be sent to jail for not voting.
I don't care if anyone knows I normally vote Democrat.
Liberals love that CNN is threatening to dox a person over a meme, but hate the idea of illegal voters being faux doxed.
I never meant to imply that voting history meant who you voted for. It just means what elections you did cast votes. How does that history relate to vote fraud beyond the information if the person in question ever voted. Actually, I don't that voter suppression, even the suppression of illegal voting is the prime motivator in seeking this information. They are looking to use it politically, and develop a huge database of party affiliation, who are the most motivated voters, who votes in primary elections, etc. This will put them on firm footing going into 2020 to direct their campaigns ans spend their advertising dollars efficiently.. I have a strange feeling that they will not share the raw data with the Democrats. It is just conjecture on my part, but even if it is partially true, it would mean the federal government is being used to further the cause of one political party.
One of the cases of illegal voting in Texas came about through a random check of voting records. An ex wife had her son vote as the dad, because she didn't want to waste his vote. The son was 17yo. Anyway, turns out the dad does vote. So voter records caught an illegal vote.
Same thing with the illegal woman who voted, also in Texas. She got caught through the same random voter record check. The same woman voted in several places. Turns out the real woman was a victim of identity fraud and illegal women were using her name/identity.
Let's flip this and say it was Obama or Hillary who wanted to do it. I'm sure you'd support it and claim that everyone who disagreed was a conspiracy theorist.
Also, like with the EPA, there are plenty of regulations and laws surrounding voter's rights and records, so nothing bad will happen. :blind:
