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?"
This is a load of crap the voter vault is database of known republicans so that the republican party can do what the democrats have been doing for years rally the troops to the voting booth. Thats it, if you don't your number on the list say your democrat or state that you hate republicans they won't call you again, if you would like them to remind you to vote or anything say your republican. They take contact info, address, phone number, email and name and use only for voting purposes.
Oh and how can something be outsourced when an inside company never did it in the first place wouldn't that mean foreign competitor.
