Colorado SOS Wayne Williams says he'll turn over publicly available voter data to White House ...

Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams said Thursday he plans to fulfill a White House commission’s request for detailed state voter data by providing the same publicly available information that would be available to anyone who asks — but he’ll hold back certain data considered confidential.

Along with every other secretary of state in the country, Williams received a letter Wednesday detailing the request from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a co-chair of the bipartisan Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which was created last month by President Donald Trump to examine vulnerabilities in election systems “that could lead to improper voter registrations, improper voting, fraudulent voter registrations and fraudulent voting.”

The commission, which is co-chaired by Vice President Mike Pence, is seeking a raft of information from state election officials on their voter rolls, including full names and addresses, dates of birth, party affiliation, voting history going back a decade, felony convictions, military and overseas citizen status.

I just emailed our secretary of state, Wayne Williams, and requested that he NOT share my voter information with the highly dubious voter fraud inquiry commission.

No way do I want Williams to send my personal info and SSN to Trump's Voter Disengagement Commission.

Hickenlooper too. Will contact both of them again now that I've heard William's response. I don't trust the trump administration with any of my data.. I know they can find whatever they want on the internet, but I'll be damned if I want my state to hand it over.
