I’m on the other side on this one. I think this is a dangerous precedent. Voting should be handled at the State level. Remember, we do it... they can do it and we know what happens when they get their hands on voting records. It’s not worth it right now.

Seriously, Hildy?
I disagree, Hildy. State elections, they can do any way they like.
Federal elections must conform to federal standards.
There should be (and are) federal laws, statutes and guidelines regarding voting, and the Federal government is entitled to comply with requests for information to determine if they are in compliance.
I ask myself the question: How often are Democrats going to level charges of voter fraud? It is not a door they wish to open, for obvious purposes. If they do, both sides will have access to information, and it is going to hurt them far more.
This is analogous to the cops coming to someone’s front door to arrest them, and the person denies they broke any law and closes the door. Those cops have the force of law, and so do we.
