DENVER – More than 5,300 Coloradans have withdrawn their voter registration over the past month, new figures from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office showed Monday as the office prepares to send voter roll information over to President Donald Trump’s election integrity commission.

Secretary of State Wayne Williams will send the information over to the controversial commission by the end of business Monday, his office confirmed.

Williams has said since the day after the request first came in that he would only send the commission what was allowable under state law: a voter’s full name, address, party affiliation and date the person registered, phone number, gender identity, birth year, and information about if a person has voted in prior elections.

The commission had also requested two things that Colorado won’t hand over: a voter’s Social Security number and a voter’s birth date—things that aren’t public record in Colorado.

Colorado has seen among the highest number of voter registration withdrawals in response to the commission’s request, which some have framed as being no more than an attempt to disenfranchise or suppress voters.

1. That's a truly dumb response to Kobach's idiocy.

And it plays right into his voter suppression.

And unregistering at this point probably won't keep their names and whatever other info Colorado has from being sent to off.


Really, what do they expect to accomplish? Not being eligible to vote to prove some sort of point about privacy?

I'm reminded of two college professors I know who aren't registered to vote because they don't want to ever do jury duty. Like that's a rational reason to voluntarily give up the franchise.

2. I am glad to not be in a state like that . I think trumps minions are looking for certain names & Ds

For instance if your last name is Washington what are the odds you are black?
If your name is Hernandez what are the odds you are Hispanic ? All Dems are outed in red areas same as having a D on your ID or something
People are afraid of intimidation . I don't blame them for withdrawing
obviously the state is of no use in guarding thier voter rights or protecting them by giving all this info out

9. I live in Florida and I have no intention of unregistering.

I instead will fight those bastards in Court if I have to. "Fight them on the beaches, fight them in the sand dunes, fight them in the mango groves, fight them in the swamp, never surrender".
