New Jersey sending most info requested by Trump voting panel
New Jersey election officials have sent most of the information requested by President Donald Trump's voting commission.
New Jersey Division of Elections Director Robert Giles told the commission this week that the information it requested that is considered public under the law will be provided.
The request includes names, addresses, phone numbers, party affiliation and the elections the person voted in. A request for the last four digits of Social Security numbers was denied because it's not public under state law.
An Associated Press tally shows election officials in 14 states and Washington, D.C., are denying the requests. Some officials are concerned it could create a target for hackers.
The commission says individual voters' information will be kept private.
New Jersey's decision was first reported by Observer New Jersey.
The Associated Press wire services contributed to this report.
