President Donald Trumps commission on election fraud is demanding states turn over sensitive voter data through an insecure email that could be used by hackers for identity theft, Gizmodo reports.
The voter rolls include names, addresses, birthdays, partial Social Security numbers, and in some cases even drivers license numbers, among other information. But the the email system intended to traffic the information lacks minimal encryption protections, according to the report.
Trump created the commission to investigate charges of alleged voter fraud, though reports of the phenomenon are relatively rare. The commission sent letters to election officials on Wednesday demanding all voter roll data. Several states have already denied the request or access to certain information as illegal, overly intrusive or simply an expensive waste of time.
Mississippis Republican Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said commission members could go jump in the Gulf of Mexico.
