ABC News published an article called Some Voters Unregistering After Trump Administration's Data Requests on July 14, 2017. The article emphasizes the mass number of alarmed voters that are attempting to unregister themselves from state voter rolls, as a result of President Donald Trump’s commission request for “confidential” voter data. The commission requested officials for “publicly-available” voter roll data, however, is also asking for more sensitive information including dates of birth, last four digits of SSN, and voter history status. As many as 3,394 voters in Colorado left the rolls and more than 200 voters sent in requests to remove their information in both Iowa and Vermont.
I recommend this article, as it addresses the growing lack of trust between the general public and the U.S. national government. Trust is the foundation of building connections with the people, understanding their problems, and working to better the country. In addition, this article may help citizens to understand and reduce their concerns. While the commission did in fact ask for information, nearly half of the states have refused to comply, or release information only on public records.
