How your state responded to Trump’s voter data request

iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Some states are taking a stand against a new government committee that seeks data on millions of American voters.

The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, created by the Trump administration, has sent letters to each state asking for voters’ names, addresses, dates of birth, the last four digits of voters’ social security numbers, information about felony convictions, voter history through 2006, political party affiliation and information regarding multi-state voter registration, among other details.

Seven states are outright refusing to comply with the request. Many states are either still reviewing the request or have not yet received it.
