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."

    From what I have learned about Democrats they are usually the first to claim being victimized and last to admit it.

    Based on my experience I would expect Democrats to do the exploiting and conning first, cry foul it was the "other guy" next, then use the media as a smoke-screen.
