From Fox News:
FOX NEWS - President Trump on Saturday questioned why some states won’t comply with a request from his voting commission for information about voters, asking, “What are they trying to hide?”
Populous and liberal-leaning states such as California and New York are refusing to comply. But even some conservative ones that voted for Trump, including Texas, say they can provide only partial responses based on what is legally allowed under state law.
"Numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL,” Trump tweeted Saturday morning. “What are they trying to hide?"
Trump established the commission to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2016 elections, but Democrats have blasted it as a biased panel that is merely looking for ways to suppress the vote.
The disagreement in the latest incident in an ongoing argument between Democrats and Republicans about the extent of voter fraud across the country.
On Friday, New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner, a Democrat who is a member of Trump's Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, defended the request.
He said the commission expected that many states would only partially comply because open records laws differ from state to state.
"If only half the states agree, we'll have to talk about that. I think, whatever they do, we'll work with that," said Gardner, adding that the commission will discuss the survey at its July 19 meeting.
He said he has received calls from unhappy constituents who said they didn't want Trump to see their personal information.
"But this is not private, and a lot of people don't know that," he said.
