Subject: Re: Why democrats can't govern

The DOJ wants to check voter rolls. Nothing more.

check your name?

check your address?

check your state driver's license number?

Why? And why won't they say why? You are making an assumption. If it was that simple, why don't they say what you are saying?

Read the Secretary's full statement. There is a Federal law prohibiting the Federal government compiling secret databases.

Federal and state laws include strict privacy protections to keep voter data confidential and to keep Michiganders safe from identity theft. The Privacy Act of 1974 was passed specifically to prevent the creation of centralized databases by the federal government and requires government agencies to publish information about how any data systems are going to be used.
