How would they target people using voter rolls? Is the concern that it includes party affiliation? Couldn't they just provide the rolls without party affiliation?

Honestly it seems crazy even state governments know party affiliation. I know it's so they know who can vote in primaries etc, but it seems like you should just be able to register to vote with your party directly.

Yes, they’re going to go after anyone that voted for the other party. Trump already said they would, I guess this is how

Not just Minnesota, they've asked all states for voter registration lists and ballots from previous elections. 11 states have complied so far.
