"Nearly two dozen Michigan House Republicans have signed on to a resolution calling for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to share the state's complete voter rolls with the Trump administration, without redactions of potentially sensitive identifying information. Michigan is one of several states being sued by the U.S. Justice Department over their refusal to share unredacted voter rolls in response to requests from the agency."
"Benson shared some of Michigan's voter roll - the parts accessible to any member of the public - but withheld personal identifying information, such as Social Security numbers. The GOP-backed resolution, which was debated at a hearing Tuesday in the House Election Integrity Committee, calls for the secretary of state to share an unredacted copy of Michigan's computerized statewide voter registration list, also known as the qualified voter file, with federal officials."
Nearly two dozen Michigan House Republicans backed a resolution demanding Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson provide federal officials with an unredacted copy of the state's qualified voter file. Benson released publicly accessible portions of the voter roll but withheld personal identifying information, including Social Security numbers. The U.S. Justice Department has sued several states, including Michigan, over refusals to produce unredacted voter lists after agency requests. The GOP resolution was debated in the House Election Integrity Committee, where Rep. Joe Fox criticized Benson's refusal to comply and appeared unaware the state had already submitted a redacted voter roll to the Justice Department.
