    ...That's scary, though potentially not a problem. A number of states publish voter data as public records. A few might have restrictions on the use of that data, but the fact that the data is available means it could be used maliciously, with overburdened authorities unlikely to prosecute anyone even if they're caught...

    Wow, so... will this database tell us whether a job applicant voted for Donald Trump? Not that it would necessarily bias anyone's hiring decisions but... :ermm:

    Senator McCarthy? Is that you ????

    Society is ripe for another Senator McCarthy, only the next incarnation will be super-powered by Big Data, Social Media, and The Internet Of Things.
