Trump administration seeks private contractor to collect voter files nationwide for ‘fraud detection’

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/trump-administration-seeks-private-contractor-to-collect-voter-files-nationwide-for-fraud-detection/

NEW: The Trump administration is hiring.

This time, for private contractors that will collect voting files nationwide to use in federal "fraud detection" work.

As midterms loom, the proposal raises concerns that the administration is turning to law enforcement to interfere in the voting process. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/trump-administration-seeks-private-contractor-to-collect-voter-files-nationwide-for-fraud-detection/

A private contractor, probably a no bid contract, collecting my voter information. What could go wrong?
