— -- Some states are taking a stand against a new government committee that seeks data on millions of American voters.

The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, created by the Trump administration, has sent letters to each state asking for information on voters, including names, addresses, birthdates, the last four digits of Social Security numbers, felony convictions, voting history through 2006, party affiliation and multistate voter registration.

Some states said they will share only information that is already publicly available.

Seven states are refusing to comply with the request. Many states are still reviewing the request or have not yet received it.
