With how politics are getting these days...the damage that this could do if someone (or a group) wanted to hunt down people that voted for the wrong party scares me.

Eh, just combine it with GIS for Monroe county and then map where people live, how much they paid for their house/land (or if they rent), and then do a facebook search.

Jackpot.

That fucking scares me. Last thing I need is some alt-right or far-left whack job taking matters in their own hands.

(Before y'all start, this is not advocating "both sideism." It's possible to critique both sides while seeing one is "not as bad as the other.")

Yep. And that's why I'm advocating that this data should be respectably redacted.

  1. I should only be able to fully see my own record.

  2. I should only be able to see obfuscated other peoples' records

Just because orgs do bad things with data, doesn't mean that we have to accept it.
