RNC Outsourced Voter Database to India
roj3 writes "PCWorld and other sources are covering the story of how the Republican Party outsourced work on their massive Voter Vault project to India. "When the Republican Party clinched close gubernatorial races in Mississippi and Kentucky in 2003, it relied heavily on its Voter Vault database to get people to the voting booths. Though party officials are tight-lipped about what's inside the Vault, they've acknowledged it contains records on an estimated 168 million voters. ... PC World has recently learned that the major development work on the Voter Vault was done in India." The work, done by Compulink Systems of Maharashtra, occurred during the same time that a Russian hacker (RyDen) compromised their site. Thankfully, they are pretty sure that no data was compromised. Who do you trust less with your personal information, marketers or politicians?"
...meanwhile, the Democrat party would like to outsource national security to the U.N.
It has nothing to do with relevance. It has to do with trying to influence the election.
Anyone with half a brain can see that the whole Politics category started on slashdot is nothing more than an attempt to bolster Kerry's chances in November.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, except that the slashdot editors insult our intelligence by trying to claim otherwise.
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
