Wolf denies Trump request for Pa. voter info a second time

The Illinois State Board of Elections Friday said it will consider next month a revised request for voter information sought by a panel President Donald Trump formed to look into his claims of voting irregularities in the last presidential election.

"Today the Department of State pursuant to Florida law fulfilled the public records request that we received from the Presidential Advisory Commission", said Sarah Revell, Detzner's spokeswoman.

The governor said he still has "grave concerns the commission intends to pursue restrictions on the rights of Pennsylvanians to vote".

Earlier this month, Reagan denied the request for Arizona voter data, saying it raised privacy concerns because the commission planned to make the information publicly available. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly rejected a request by the Electronic Privacy Information Center to block the data collection.

"No voter information will be released without board approval and advance notice to the public", the state election board statement said.

Asked on Fox Business Network whether Priebus is in trouble, Conway replied: "You'd have to ask the president that". WASHINGTON — White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus may have little left of his job but his title.

Kobach first requested the data in June, when he asked for things as detailed as birthdays and driver's license numbers, even partial Social Security numbers, according to Wolf's office.

"The only information that will be made public are statistical conclusions drawn from the data, other general observations that may be drawn from the data, and any correspondence that you may send to the Commission in response to the narrative questions enumerated in the June 28 letter", he wrote. At last count, more than 5,000 people statewide withdrew their registrations immediately after it became public that Williams was going to provide information to the commission, the preponderance of which are Democrats and unaffiliated voters.

Trump formed the panel in May after he claimed, without evidence, that 3 million to 5 million immigrants living in the USA illegally voted in the 2016 presidential election, costing him a popular vote victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

"This case isn't just about the fact that the federal government is collecting data on voters, but also how they're doing it", he said.

Williams said voters needn't worry that their information will be misused because it has already been readily available.
