Exactly. I'm failing to see why this story is generating so much interest.

Here's one of the 50 websites where you can see every American citizen registered to vote... includes their DOB, Address, Voter ID etc...

http://www.oklavoters.com/

and while you're there check out the removal request policy page - it's quite humorous.

EDIT: If you are wondering how the website obtained data specifically for Oklahoma please see https://www.ok.gov/elections/Candidate_Info/Voter_List/index...

For some countries, voter info is as effective as SSN of US. I guess, Mexico is one of them.

Doesn't the fact that they have a removal request policy page at all suggest that at least some Americans find it surprising that voter data is freely available online?

I found it childish and unprofessional, just like the reply letters TPB wrote in response to DMCA requests.

In both cases, don't forget who it's addressed to - people who have made rude, unreasonable demands and threats. Those people are bullies so it's fair to insult them.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we can't have nice things (as a species).

As a non-American, the bit that amazes me is "political affiliation .. and voting history". Really?

Isn't voting meant to be a private thing?

[lg]

that's when you voted, not who you voted for.

[prof_hobart]

Political affiliation isn't.

Interesting, list does not seem complete as I'm effectively missing from that list.

the linked website is for Oklahoma only.
