Your article mentions that 44 states will not comply.   Don't fall for the spin excusing this as a semantic problem.   You can't believe that 44 state officials, failed to understand request?  This is standard administration practices of acting in group think with no unbiased evaluation.  Classic 'shoot from the hip policy' to satisfy the Presidents paranoia by his cowed 'team'.

We have yet another case of trying to defend and indefensible, poorly conceived proposition that has far more rhetoric than facts.

It's an absurd waste of the taxpayers money and election officials across the nation, D and R, resent the implication that this no-nothing President understands the facts and reality of our current state run systems, let alone that he's capable of reforming something that he does not understand.

From your link:
"But the commission, which is chaired by Vice President Mike Pence, seemed to misunderstand voter privacy laws nationwide."

Stay true to your excellent handle!
