United to Protect Democracy & Brennan Center Letter to OMB Director: Protect States from “Election Integrity” Commission’s Sweeping Requests for Voter Information

The Brennan Center and United to Protect Democracy wrote a letter to the director of the Office of Management and Budget, asking him to protect against sweeping requests by the dubious Fraud Commission for extensive personal information about voters.

The Brennan Center and United to Protect Democracy ask Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, to take appropriate action to remedy the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity’s sweeping requests for extensive personal details about voters. The groups note that the panel’s ask violates the Paperwork Reduction Act, which exists to protect the public – including state governments – from burdensome requests, especially those that don’t provide adequate safeguards for sensitive information.
