Apparently the USA executive branch under reality show host and real estate mogul Donald J. Trump is moving us one yuuuuge step closer to George Orwell’s dystopian society depicted in his novel 1984. With his right-wing supporters in congress and red state governors supporting his unfounded claims of massive voter fraud he is pushing his xenophobic agenda forward. We’ll say again, America Beware.
The Washington Post – The Trump administration formally identified its 10-member commission seeking voter data from all 50 states in a court filing Thursday that also said the commission intends to keep the data it collects at the White House.
The response came in a lawsuit by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a civil liberties group, that has asked a federal judge in Washington to block the requests for voter information until the government conducts a full assessment of the impact on Americans’ privacy.
The commission’s request for voting information has caused a nationwide uproar, with officials in nearly every state saying they cannot or will not turn over all of the data.
