We applaud the principled actions that many Secretaries of State and election administrators have taken to reject the commissions request for sensitive information about voters, and we urge those that have not yet responded to carefully consider any future responses to the commission. We strongly believe that the commissions request is an unprecedented overreach and a brazen assault on the founding principles of our democracy. We have three overarching concerns. First, we are concerned that this commission is laying the groundwork for potential voter suppression by the wrongful removal of eligible voters, including Black, Hispanic, Native American, older, and student voters, from the rolls through the problematic process known as Crosscheck. Second, the creation of a national database of voters detailed information raises serious privacy concerns. And finally, at a time when the focus should be addressing the possibility of past and continued Russian interference, including cyberattacks in the 2016 elections, the creation of a national database raises significant national security concerns. We write to express our opposition to the confirmation of Eric Dreiband to be the Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. Mr. Dreiband - like many other individuals who have been nominated by President Trump to lead federal offices whose missions they have challenged and opposed during their careers - is the wrong choice for this position, and we urge you to vote against him. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Division. The American people deserve a leader of that office who will embrace its historic mission and statutory obligations, and fight for the civil rights of all in this great nation. We sent a letter to the Attorney General in February outlining the key qualities necessary for an Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Mr. Dreiband falls short of the mark and is ill-equipped to serve in that position. | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),SENATE,State, Dept of (DOS) | 0 | 1 | 2017-10-04T08:49:31.467000-04:00 |
