Database of 191 Million US Voters Exposed On Internet (reuters.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Researcher Chris Vickery has discovered an incorrectly configured database that exposes the details of 191 million U.S. voters. Reuters reports: "While voter data is typically considered public information, it would be time-consuming and expensive to gather a database of all American voters. A trove of all U.S. voter data could be valuable to criminals looking for lists of large numbers of targets for a variety of fraud schemes. 'The alarming part is that the information is so concentrated,' said Vickery."

Sure, just the Republicans. Because Clinton is so honorable and would never do anything wrong or criminal.

Normally, I don't respond to trolling ACs, but - if you had RTFA - you would know that the data was NOT taken from a "gubmint" site. But, that would spoil your "Gubmint Bad - Trump Good" view of things and we sure can't have THAT! Dumbass....
