President Trump Questions 25 States Refusing to Hand Over Voter Information

More states are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.

As of Friday, 25 states have refused to give partial or full requested information, according to the Washington Post. Some states cited state laws prohibiting them from releasing certain voter information, while others opposed the information request due to the commission itself, the Post reported.

Trump tweeted about the subject Saturday morning writing, “Numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL. What are they trying to hide?”

Trump’s commission on voter fraud asked each state to provide personal data on all registered voters going back to 2006.
