Oh in fact he had an excellent refusal..

"The right to vote is absolute and I have no confidence that you seek to bolster it," Wolf wrote, in a letter to Kris Kobach, the commission's vice chair

Wolf raised a variety of concerns about Kobach's request, saying a wholesale public disclosure would violate state law and that there's no assurance the data would be handled securely.

"Your request implies that your office may undertake a systematic effort to suppress the vote in Pennsylvania," he wrote.

I like Rhode Island's SOS Nellie Gorbea..

Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea (D) took her criticism further, saying Kobach was unfit to lead the commission, given his record of strict voting laws and a recent court fine for failing to produce documents related to a lawsuit over voting laws.

“It is deeply troubling that he has been given oversight of this commission by the president,” Gorbea said.
