YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSeveral civil rights groups and lawmakers have come out against a federal "election integrity" commission established by President Donald Trump that wants states to hand over detailed personal information about U.S. voters.

At least 44 states to date have said they will not comply with Kobach’s request.
