Forty-one states have refused Kobach's request for voter information

Washington, DC (CNN) - Forty-one states have defied the Trump administration's request for private voter information, according to a CNN inquiry to all 50 states.

State leaders and voting boards across the country have responded to the letter with varying degrees of cooperation -- from altogether rejecting the request to expressing eagerness to supply information that is public.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, vice chairman of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which Trump created by executive order in May, sent a letter to all 50 states last Wednesday requesting a bevy of voter data, which he notes will eventually be made available to the public.

That information sought included registrants' full names, addresses, dates of birth, political parties, the last four digits of their social security numbers, a list of the elections they voted in since 2006, information on any felony convictions, information on whether they were registered to vote in other states, their military status, and whether they lived overseas.

1. I care most about WI, MI, FL, PA, and OH

That is where ever vote will be crucial!

2. I'm ashamed to say Ga. isn't one of them! I read in the paper here that our SOS agreed to

send all information that is public. I'd have much preferred she say "NO WAY! If you want it, take the time to look it up!"

3. If your state isn't on the list, call your Sec. of State

I'm sure that's what helped to change our Republican Sec. of State's mind.
