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?"

Voters Vault... worthless

[MrIcee]

Well, typical of outsourced crap... I've never once in my life voted Republican, and I'm certainly not going to start this year! But... this is the first year in my life that I:

1. Got a signed photo of the smirking liar Bush in the mail.
2. Got a signed photo of Bush and his charmless wife Laura in the mail
3. Got a RNC membership card in the mail last week

That and the irritating Indian guy that keeps calling (even though i'm on the DO NOT CALL LIST) to tell me I've been given a $10,000 government grant (from a 'private number' # no less).

If we're going to outsource, how about starting with the commander and thief.
