MODERATORS
Well, not entirely true. They do it in the US based on your public voter registration data, giving rise to companies that only exist to suck up and sell that data to groups looking to game the system instead of giving people what they want/need/deserve.
Oh, just the registration data, not actually what you voted for.
In Canada they copy it in from tax data, so you'd really have to go for the off-the-grid sovereign citizen stuff and never pay taxes to stay out of it. Maybe it's different in the US.
