Mark Martin will partially comply with Trump's voter data request
Secretary of State Mark Martin apparently has decided to partially comply with the vast voter data mining operation undertaken by Donald Trump's "election integrity" commission, an effort overseen by vote-suppressing Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in hopes of digging up revidence that Trump really didn't lose the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
More than 40 states have refused to comply with the sweeping request because some information Kobach seeks is not public information and also because of concerns a public data mine, which Kobach has said he'd create, could be a tool for identity theft and voter fraud.
Democratic State Rep. Greg Leding of Fayetteville, who's been encouraging resistance to the effort, said he'd learned from Martin's office that Martin intended to give to Kobach public information that is provided to campaigns, but that wouldn't include military status, felon status or how a voter voted. (Correction: It will include which preferential primary a voter participated in.)
Leding urges citizens to continue to call the secretary of state (501-682-1010). You could also write a member of the commission, lobbyist and former legislator David Dunn — david@capitolpartners.co
