You made a claim that ALL the information is public you never said that it varies by state, are we supposed to read your mind? And it's not hard to find 2194

Well, others have pretty much already given the answer but your information is already public. You're not giving up anything. It's already out there.

Total waste of money. The number of deaths and people who moved since the election would cause so much manpower to cross check. Then you have people who are on 2 rolls bc of moving, college, etc. but weren't properly removed.
It's like drug testing for welfare, it's not fiscally responsible. I don't doubt that some illegally voted but if it was an organized effort they would go to swing states. The majority of the complaints are about dark blue states.
I personally wouldn't care about giving my info cuz I assume the gvt has it anyway. Besides, I can google an address and some website always pops up that says the name and political party of every registered voter on the block. All your business is online even if you don't know it unless you have a common name and don't have an address linked to your actual home.

So is most of the rest of the prohibited information, address is only available if there is a challenge to a vote and the information is only given to the challenger.

It's obvious you've never purchased a gun or how gun sales/investigations work...

You don't enter the owners name. If a weapon is found at the scene of a crime. Police have to gather the serial number from the receiver and the fingerprints on the firearm... the ATF Stands for Alcohol Tobacco and FIREARMS Not people. They do not create a registry of People. They keep a registry of firearms...

Nowhere does it express Alcohol Tobacco Firearms People.

That registry traces back to who bought it, and where they bought it from. I say again, because you do not like the method does not make it a non database.

Do you even know the responsibilities of an FFL holder? Never mind the average joe selling something from their collection, or someone who manufactures...

You really need to research these things...
Like I said... the ATF knows everything I own and can trace everything I've purchased back to me.... again because you don't like the way it's set up to where it can be searched by name... Doesn't make it a non database.
Search a name, ok, what good is that going to do? A police officer finds a weapon at the scene of a crime he has finger prints and has a serial number unless it's been destroyed... what good is a name search going to do?

The loon who did Sandy hook that wasn't his bushmaster. Killed his mother then used his mothers gun. What good would his name do in a database if that name never acquired the gun?

You'd be surprised what you can determine from a simple vote count.

What percentage of the precinct's registered voters actually voted?
Is that within historical norms?
Did the votes cast generally follow registration numbers?

The whole thing is to sooth Trumps eqo. He looses the popular vote. He then claims 5 million illegal votes. That notion is rejected by both sided of the aisle. So he creates a very partisan committee headed by a guy that was fined by the courts for providing misleading information regarding voter registration.

At the end of the data they will find lots of people who are dead or listed multiple times because they moved. And then they will count up the ones that are democrat and say see Trump was right.

Otherwise why are they asking for party affiliation? There is zero reason they would need that.

What in the world does any of this have to do with what I said which is that gun ownership is not kept in a database that is searchable by owner name, that is federal law. Some states do require gun registration but I am talking about federal law. And as far as your admonishment that I must not have ever purchased a gun or done investigations. I own guns, I am retired law enforcement & I used to do gun traces.
Once again, (and hopefully for the last time) If I want to know how many guns, or what kind of guns Ny refugee owns I cannot enter his name in a federal database and find out because federal law prohibits that.

This is going to be interesting because Washington state has a Republican Secretary of State. Usually a Republican in a blue state like Washington tries to thread the needle when it comes to topics like this. She just said she will give them names, addresses and dates of birth. The opposition ad is probably being created now for the next election.
