The letter Kobach did send out appears to heed Dunlap’s advice. It says he is seeking “publicly available voter roll data” ― including, “if publicly available,” information like the last four digits of voters’ Social Security Numbers, felony convictions and voter histories. Even several members of the commission, including Kobach and Dunlap, have said they cannot legally disclose all the information the committee is seeking. “These states make the information available to the public, but they don’t want a presidential commission to take a serious look at it? “We’re going to treat this like we would treat any request for information and if they qualify for the publicly available information, we give it to them,” he said.
