People are responding to Trump's Advisory Commission on Election Integrity request for information by withdrawing their voter registration.

Hundreds of voters are responding to the possibility their information will be shared with President Trump’s election integrity panel by withdrawing their voter registration, according to a Friday report. 

In Colorado, one of the states that is complying with part of the commission request, two clerks have seen a significant increase in voters withdrawing their voter registration, Denver’s ABC affiliate reported. 

In Denver, one clerk has seen a 2,150 percent increase in people withdrawing as voters over the past since July 3 compared to the first non-holiday week before. 

Colorado allows voters to withdraw online or make their information confidential by paying a fee. 

The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity last week requested all 50 states to upload publicly available voter information to a federal website. The information requested, in a letter signed by Vice Chair Kris Kobach, includes voter names, birth dates, the last four digits of Social Security numbers and party affiliation.

Okay does anybody else wonder if this was not he plan all along? 

Gerrymandering, voter ID laws, inviting Russians in to hack our election security, and now this.

I don't think our ability to exercise our constitutional right to vote has ever been as under attack as it is today.

White House suggests that reason states are not complying with requests for voter information is due to fear that it will prove Trump won popular vote. Wait, what?

White House officials told Fox News on Tuesday that states weren’t cooperating with the commission because they are “concerned they will find fraud” which will “raise doubts about Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote.”

Clinton won the popular vote by about 2.9 million votes. 

The idea that partisan politics is motivating the states is belied by the fact that many of the states refusing to cooperate with the commission are run by Republicans.

Okay has Trump's insanity now spread throughout the entire White House?

This is such a bizarre notion that it almost makes me paranoid that the reason behind this entire project was to somehow massage to make it appear that Trump WAS the actual winner of the popular vote.

But that's just crazy, right?

Well crazy or not there is at least on official who has simply had enough.

Amid a wave of states refusing requests for personal voter data and a new legal complaint filed against its leader, the Trump administration’s “election integrity” panel saw its first resignation Monday night: Maryland’s Republican deputy secretary of state Luis E. Borunda. 

Borunda, who did not immediately respond to TPM’s request for an interview, was appointed to the controversial panel on June 21. Unlike in most U.S. states, however, the Secretary of State’s office in Maryland has nothing to do with registering voters or administering elections. That falls to Maryland’s Attorney General and State Board of Elections, which on Tuesday joined the growing list of states refusing to cooperate with the national voter fraud panel’s demand for a long list of personal voter information, including the Social Security numbers, addresses and party affiliation of millions of citizens.

Well this is at least one Republican who recognized that he needed to jump out of the clown car before it careened off a cliff.
