Why are we providing voter rolls to anyone who isn’t in the government?
How else are they going to compile kill lists for insurrection day/day of the long knives?
I'm not kidding. I hope the good people of the US make use of the 2nd amendment to defend themselves and their homes. They won't be able to trust the cops; most of them will side with the insurrectionists.
Not to mention this, to specifically target federal employees who won't toe the line.
Public databases are public…. Yeah kinda sucks.
But as much as I hate it; oh and I do! It is public info.
Now, their misuse of that data needs a lawsuit or three; and I’m sadly also sure that would accomplish nothing….
This information should not be public
While I agree, the flip side is records could be changed on a whim and it would be that much harder to prove they were changed.
If you're worried about party affiliation being used against you then register as independent. That's the only thing kept in that record that wasn't always available in the phone books of past times.
Well, we did get rid of the phone books
This should not be public record. I hate that when I register in CA my info gets sent to every spamming piece of shit political group.
In the UK when you sign up to vote you have the option to be on the "open register" which is a list of voters that companies then buy to find people to spam with letters etc. Safe to say I've opted out
