Colorado Newsline: Colorado’s top election official declined a Trump administration request this week to share extensive voter information.
The request was the latest administration effort to extract details about registered voters in the state. Secretary of State Jena Griswold previously shared only publicly available voter roll information in response to U.S. Department of Justice requests. The latest request seeks more sensitive data.
“We will not comply with the Trump Department of Justice’s request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information,” Griswold, a Democrat, said in a statement. “The DOJ can take a hike; it does not have a legal right to the information. Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.”
