In the last few years, conservatives who are passionate about the pro-life cause have finally gotten savvier in reducing the number of abortions in their states. They have done it by way of strategic legislation which, for example, encourages abortion providers like Planned Parenthood to measure up to health standards, or bans abortions past certain gestation periods.

In the past week election officials in dozens of states have rejected a request from the newly-formed Presidential Advisory Commission on Electoral Integrity to provide voter records for a study on the extent (if any) of election fraud. Some of those officials have expressed great indignation that the commission would even ask. Yet many of those same officials would gladly sell those very same records — to campaigns, to candidates, to political consultants, even to you. It’s a situation that baffles some political veterans.
