Minnesota Republicans propose to withhold federal funding unless state hands over voter rolls to Trump

Minnesota's four Republican members of Congress are supporting new legislation designed to force the state's election officials to turn over private voter data to the Trump administration, withholding federal funding if it doesn't.

The Trump administration is suing election officials in Minnesota and at least 19 other states who have refused to provide voter roll information, including the full names, dates of birth, residential addresses and driver’s license numbers of voters.

Why would the Feds need or want the home addresses and driver's license numbers of voters?

To guage how good a job a state is doing in keeping ineligible people from being on the voter rolls.

The narrative about non-citizens voting in significant numbers is another one of Trump the Perfect's delusions, which is fed to his white supremacist base. Why should the government wast vast amounts of money sifting voter rolls looking for a non-existent problem?

Of course, the nice thing about conspiracy theories, is you dismiss every presentation of facts, as part of the conspiracy.

Sure. You know what else the government should not waste time on

"Checking whether that Somali Day Care Center actually exists before sending the check"

I think one of the primary ways to perform responsible government is for any agency that sends out money, they have an ongoing program of re-certifying eligibility. Same for voter rolls. If
no one ever checks, records keep getting further out of date....

Then Spankee could NEVER get any money from any govt. Think about that--if you can.

Definite public proof--posted BY YOU--that you can NOT be a US resident or citizen.

To be fair, this predates the Felon by a bit. I seem to recall accusations of "illegal voters" in 2008 (Obama). The Felon has just amplified it. And no amount of data will convince him or his acolytes that it isn't real (including some board members here).

Assuming we are able to depose the King in 2028 (not a sure thing, but probable), the conspiracy theorists -bereft of data- will continue to insist it. Most especially if they lose.
