Big news out of Connecticut. Secretary of State receives broad demands for all voter files. Points out Kobach’s notorious record of voter suppression.
here is how Vanita Gupta, the former head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s office of Civil Rights, responded on Twitter: that the letter proves that Kobach and Vice President Mike Pence, who serves as the commission’s chairman, “are laying the groundwork for voter suppression, plain & simple”, as quoted in the Kansas City Star.
Of course, since trump is about to meet with Putin, maybe he just wants to save Russian hackers the trouble and just hand him the files.
