Idaho elections officials have turned over voters’ names, addresses, and other public information to President Donald Trump’s commission investigating alleged voter fraud.

The Idaho Secretary of State’s Office said Wednesday the commission had filled out the state’s official public records request form and paid the $20 fee required to obtain the data.  Election officials mailed Idaho’s voter rolls to the commission on Tuesday.

Secretary of State Lawerence Denney previously promised not to hand over information considered confidential under state law, including Social Security information, driver’s license numbers, and dates of birth.  The commission also says individual voters’ information will be kept private.
