Voter advocates push Illinois to exit multistate database

FILE – In this Jan. 27, 2010 file photo, voters cast their ballots for Illinois’ primary at an early voting polling place in Chicago. Voter rights advocates are suddenly pushing Illinois election officials to withdraw from a longtime multi-state voter registration database over questions of accuracy, security and voter suppression. They’re also raising fresh questions about the head of the program, controversial Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach who’s also helping run President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission.
