The White House has released 112 pages of emails containing the personal data of critics who were worried their personal data would be made public.

The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity is investigating President Donald Trump's allegations of voter fraud by seeking the names, addresses, partial social security numbers and party affiliation of every voter in the country. The commission drew widespread criticism when it said that information would then be posted publicly.

"You will open up the entire voting population to a massive amount of fraud if this data is in any way released," one voter wrote, according to the Washington Post.

"Many people will get their identity stolen, which will harm the economy," another said.

Others ranged from elaborate explanations of their concerns to profanity-laced tirades. "F--- off," one of the shortest emails said.

On Thursday, the White House ignored those concerns and released the comments -- along with the identities of each critic. No personal information was redacted, exposing their names, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers and places of employment.

Forbes compared the release to "doxxing," a method of online trolling that is banned by many sites due to concerns about threats and harassment.

According to the Post, the emails were sent to the Election Integrity Commissions' email address that the administration asked U.S. secretaries of state to send data files to. More than 40 states have refused to comply, prompting President Trump to question why: "What are they trying to hide?"

The White House did not appear to warn any individuals that their emails could be released publicly, though it defended the release.

"These are public comments, similar to individuals appearing before commission to make comments and providing name before making comments," Marc Lotter, Press Secretary to Vice President Mike Pence, told the Post. "The Commission's Federal Register notice asking for public comments and its website make clear that information 'including names and contact information' sent to this email address may be released."

Critics said personal information still should have been redacted.

"This cavalier attitude toward the public's personal information is especially concerning given the commission's request for sensitive data on every registered voter in the country," an attorney for American Civil Liberties Union's Voting Rights Project, told Slate.

The investigation into voter fraud began after Trump, who lost the popular vote to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, claimed that she received millions of illegally cast votes. He has not provided any evidence of his allegations.
