In a rare display of bipartisanship, officials in nearly every state have said they will partially or fully refuse to comply with President Trumps voting commission, which has encountered criticism and opposition after issuing a sweeping request for voter data nationwide.
Even as some of the resistance centers on Trump and members of his commission, the broader responses from the states indicate a strong and widespread belief that local officials should be managing elections and that the White Houses request for volumes of information went too far.
What it says is some Republicans actually still believe in federalism and that our constitution still governs the way states hold their elections, still Rick Wilson, a longtime GOP strategist and frequent Trump critic, who called the resistance by Republican state-level officials commendable. He also pointed to the commissions origins in Trumps repeated and unsubstantiated claims that voter fraud is widespread and cost him the popular vote last year.
If Trumps theory is correct, that means these states allowed voter fraud to occur, Wilson said. By definition, it will have to include a bunch of Republican states, and they dont like that.
Most elections in the states are run beautifully.

Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)trying to find three million fraudulent votes to give Trump the win in the popular vote is not going to happen. The reputation of "True the Vote" is to point out duplicate names who voted, in the US there are plenty of duplicate names even with names which are not popular. In Florida they attempted to purge voters from the rolls if a wife did not have a vehicle in her name, WHAT? It is voter suppression over and over. Trump wanted party affiliation also, wonder how many Democrats would Trump decide were fraudulent, enough to win. I plan to vote every election and will not allow Trump to suppress my vote.
