So all the Obama administration has to do is massage the data until it comes up with evidence of "disparate impact" and all the rest rolls out automatically.
Will a conservative Republican president ordered the destruction of this data? I doubt it.

In a tradition started by our most liberal president, Richard Nixon, the Feds have arranged to bribe the states to do the dirty work and hide the role of the Feds.
In health, CMS (Medicare and Medicaid) spends billions of dollars, not on health care, but on 90-10 grants to states to develop healthcare software to CMS standards. Even the most conservative red states will do anything CMS says rather than lose the 90-10 money.
The CMS requirements for that software are all available on the internet at CMS sites. The most absurd and dangerous part of the software directives is that they are locked into obsolete technology. Technology changes rapidly. By locking in the obsolete, they are inherently locking into the design of the software opportunities for the Chinese and terrorists to hack the data. The obsolete also guarantees there will be massive false positives and false negatives in the raw data, not to mention the errors in aggregation and analysis of the raw data.
At the state level, the decision makers are obsessed with COMPLIANCE with Fed regulations. They have little concern for the quality in itself...and virtually no concern for the health of anyone.

I’m betting Cruz will!
