Privacy Watchdog Sues Trump's Election Committee Over Voter Data (engadget.com)
From a report: When the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity sent a letter to all 50 states seeking personal, identifying information on all voters in the US, at least 44 states refused in some part. Trump signed an executive order last May to create this commission while claiming that millions of people had voted illegally. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has taken issue with this request, as well, and has filed a lawsuit accusing the Commission of violating the privacy of American voters. EPIC also asserts that the original request asks states to send the data to a non-secure website, making the data vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud. Not to mention political agendas. EPIC is also seeking information about "the failure to conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment," and has filed for a temporary restraining order "to block the Commission's efforts."
848 documented criminal convictions, and this is just a sampling. Or perhaps you'd like to hear from the Pew Trusts and their finding of "Approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.", not to mention millions of dead still registered to vote... Is that enough evidence for you? How much is needed before it becomes a concern - is it only dismissed because it tends to overwhelmingly break one way?
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
Someone with a suspicious mind might think that Trump has something to hide by not releasing his Tax returns. At least that situation has some reasoning behind it (conflicts of interest, foreign investments/liabilities, etc), this "election committee" is pointless. Election fraud is about as rare as finding a winning lottery ticket fluttering in the wind.
Fuck Trump, but more importantly fuck you.
Trump is a symptom. You are the problem.
