  58. @ElectionBabe @josephfcox Campaigns can get basic voter data to outreach to voters in the district where the campaign is running. Strategy firms can purchase data from various data brokers and create profiles which they can then use to target for political advertising. See #cambridgeanalytica.

    September 6, 2019

  66. @b_cavello Yes, systems are not perfect. Voter data is public data. This is another misunderstanding by the public. It has to be public, to know if and where you can vote. You need name, address (for jurisdiction) and age.

    September 6, 2019 · reply to @b_cavello

  67. @b_cavello There are also people who can not vote, e.g. felons. Those names must be scrubbed from the rolls as well. This is a partly a data cleaning/confirming problem.

    September 6, 2019 · reply to @heathervescent

  68. @b_cavello Beating up on local systems administrators will not solve the problem. Funding local IT systems to hire experience security professionals and requiring technology vendors to be transparent and document their systems will solve this issue. (Along w/ broader data protections.)

    September 6, 2019 · reply to @heathervescent

  69. @b_cavello And you actually want this data public to prove the voter who voted could actually legally vote in that jurisdiction/election. So having this as public data helps election confidence. (And this is the aspect ppl are looking at blockchain technology for.)
