18 Million Targeted Voter Records Exposed By Database Error (csoonline.com)

itwbennett writes: Last week, a database containing 191 million voter records was exposed because of a misconfigured database that no on wants to claim ownership of. Around the same time, a second, smaller database containing fewer than 57 million records similar to those previously discovered was also found by researcher Chris Vickery. But the second database also includes 18 million records that hold targeted demographic information. And as was the case with the previous voter database, no one wants to claim ownership.

Is it part of the uncoordinated coordination?

Election law is quite esoteric and it forbids "coordination" between people with similar goals. One way to defeat it is to collect the data and leave in a secret location but arguably a public location. The other party gets tipped off and they collect the "publicly" found info. Ted Cruz dumped tons of unedited video shoot in some public you tube account to provide material for his PAC to create advertisements for him without "coordination". Someone found it and comedians had a field day with it. They had specifically avoided copyright claims to allow the other party to use it legally. Now comedians happily playing with it.

Similarly Fiorina just accepts invitation to speak from different group, posts these invitations publicly in a google spreadsheet. Her SuperPAC uses this info to organize all the campaign work. Uncoordinated coordination!

This database could also be one of the deep pocketed presidential campaigns getting the info without paying for it, or provide the info without appearing to coordinate with them.

Just wish we would just scrap the elections and just sell the elections to the highest bidder at this point.
