This is an old article, but Iowa just complied.

Also, they marked the states blue if they complied and red if they were sued for not complying. Strange choice.

  • Alabama
  • Iowa
  • Mississippi
  • Missouri
  • Montana
  • Nebraska
  • South Carolina
  • South Dakota
  • Texas
  • Tennessee
  • Utah
  • Virginia

The article is under a stricter paywall.

Iowa has turned over its voter registration data to the federal government, including sensitive information such as Social Security numbers of the state's roughly 2 million active voters, according to Secretary of State Paul Pate.

pretty much every 'blue' or 'potentially-blue' state has been dragged to court because they didn't 'comply' with the unconstitutional (because states run elections, not the feds) data grab

I didn't read the article, but there is of course almost a 1:1 correlation between states that voted for Biden in the 2020 election and states that have been sued for not providing voter information. All the while there are several states that voted for trump in the same election, have not provided any voter information, and have also not been sued. Makes it very obvious what they're up to.

States that hate freedom and privacy. They love to be told what to do so they can turn around and do the same to others. These are dangerous people.

Social Security numbers aren't public info.

This should've been the default response for every state really - just some generic boilerplate description of where they can find the publicly available voter information. That way you're not inviting conflict by outright refusing, but you're also not helping them at all, and telling them they can do their own work or go fuck themselves.
