State officials say the federal panel also has been requesting felony conviction information about voters, which is not maintained by election agencies in New York and is not public. Moreover, the Cuomo administration says the Trump-created panel has not said how it wants to use the information it collects on voters.
Voters registering in New York are asked to provide the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, though experts say such information was not collected at the time when the vast majority of currently enrolled voters registered with the state. Public release of that information is not permitted.
Sen. Fred Akshar, a Binghamton Republican who is chairman of the Senate elections committee, said Friday that privacy and personal information about voters "must be respected and prioritized.''
However, the senator said, "nearly all of the information requested is already publicly available at Board of Elections websites across New York State."
Cuomo won't send already-public voter information to Trump election panel
