White House Releases Sensitive Personal Info From Voters Concerned About Privacy (vox.com)

Huge_UID shares an article from Vox: The White House just responded to concerns it would release voters' sensitive personal information by releasing a bunch of voters' sensitive personal information. Last month, the White House's "election integrity" commission sent out requests to every state asking for all voters' names, party IDs, addresses, and even the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, among other information. The White House then said this information would be made available to the public. A lot of people did not like the idea, fearing that their personal information could be made public. So some sent emails to the White House, demanding that it rescind the request. This week, the White House decided to make those emails from concerned citizens public through the commission's new website... It didn't censor any of the personal information -- such as names, email addresses, actual addresses, and phone numbers -- included in those emails.
Some of the emails also included the commenter's place of employment -- though at least one commenter helpfully informed the White House that their voter info was available at Goatse. But the voting comission is now also facing new lawsuits from the ACLU, Public Citizen, and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, McClatchy reported on Monday, noting that "Trump's voting commission has told states to hold off on sharing the data until after a judge's ruling in a lawsuit."

    Research Team Slams Global Warming Data In New Report

            In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in the previously reported historical data are quantified. It was found that each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history. And, it was nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern. This was true for all three entities providing GAST data measurement, NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU.

            The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data. Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever â"despite current claims of record setting warming.

    That isn't what pisses me off...if the left wants to claim that the election was rigged against Shillary? Then you HAVE to investigate, which means looking at the fucking voting records!

    But isn't it funny that the states having the most of a shitfit are the ones that have been accused in the past of having the "living impaired" voting democrat? I sincerely hope the courts demand that ALL states produce their data so we can see once and for all what is going on...I have a feeling there is gonna be some massive cheating alright, but it ain't gonna be the right, its gonna be the DNC ops that Project Veritas caught bragging about busing illegals to vote in multiple districts and entire cemeteries worth of corpses wearing "I'm with her" shirts shambling their rotten asses into polling booths in heavily democrat states.

  3. Why is this modded up? by Texmaize · · Score: 0, Troll

    Per usual, knee jerk liberal pejoratives are modded up for no reason. There is no evidence given that the administration does not give a fuck about America....in fact a strong case could be made for the opposite with strong efforts to ensure that jobs staid in country, examination of treaties to make sure that they were in the interest of the US, not other nations etc.

    We can not have an intelligent debate about things if you keep modding up the least intelligent comments.
