I absolutely agree with all those writers who do not want the state (s) to give this data to the Feds.  I have a common married name and my  medical records, in Colorado, have been confused, with one other person, at least.  I have an unique maiden name and recently learned that a cousin has exactly the same maiden, first and last, name as I do. The mind boggles at how I would have to try and verify who I was so I could vote.  The Feds have not been able to protect their own personnel records from hacking.  A voter data bank would be worth billions to every amateur and professional hacker in the world.  WE do not have a national vote, we vote by District and State.  Therefore, we have NO NEED for a national voter base. This is crazy!
