Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said Friday that he will not supply private voter information that was requested by a federal election fraud commission created by President Trump.

Mr. Husted, a Republican, said that much of the Ohio voter registration information that was requested is already in the public domain and available to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.

“The confidential information, such as the last four digits of a voter’s Social Security number or their Ohio driver license number, is not publicly available and will not be provided to the commission,” he said.

The information was requested in a letter to Mr. Husted, as well as officials in the other 49 states, from Kris Kobach, the vice chairman of the commission.

Mr. Kobach’s letter asked for such information if it was publicly available under the law.

The advisory commission was appointed in May after Mr. Trump made unsupported claims of voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election in which he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton. Mr. Trump won the Electoral College vote but lost the popular vote. He claimed in a tweet that he would have won the popular vote if millions of people had not voted illegally.

Mr. Husted said that voter fraud is rare but that when it happens “we hold people accountable.” He noted that after each of the last three federal elections, he instructed the county boards of elections to conduct a review of credible allegations of voter fraud and voter suppression, all of which is online and available to the commission.

“In responding to the commission, we will have ideas on how the federal government can better support states in running elections. However, we will make it clear that we do not want any federal intervention in our state’s right and responsibility to conduct elections,” Mr. Husted said.

“The commission and elections community should treat this as an opportunity to build confidence in our election system. I intend to handle it constructively and responsibly. We are proud of what we’ve built in Ohio,” Mr. Husted said.

As of Friday afternoon, at least 27 states had publicly expressed reservations or legal barriers to turning over all of the requested information, particularly with regard to the privacy of Social Security numbers, according to a CNN inquiry to all 50 states.
