NYN elects to give Don voter data

New York state’s Board of Elections is providing voter information to the federal commission investigating possible fraud at the polls, despite Gov. Cuomo’s refusal to comply wwith an earlier request.

“New York refuses to perpetuate the myth voter fraud played a role in our election,” Cuomo said in June. “We will nonot be complying with this request.”

But the governor said the commission scaled down its request, limiting

iit to public information that anyone could get, so it was granted.

The data provided includes the names of voters, their dates of birth, party affiliation, addresses and how often they have voted.

The board did not turn over the last four digits of voters’ Social Security numbers, their driver’s license or nondriver identification numbers, a copy of their signatures or criminal histories.

All were included in the Trump administration’s initial request in June.

“That general information request is being granted by the Board of Elections, but nothing further,” Cuomo said in a statement.

“Our position remains unchanged and we will continue to deny requests for sensitive personal data about New York residents.

“We will never provide private voter information to anyone, especially a politically motivated organization seeking to perpetuate the myth of voter fraud.”
