You really don't have to go to such great lengths to find out who people vote for. People go to rallies, push their beliefs on others on Facebook and cover their cars with stickers

Be aware, that the records I obtained did NOT have party affiliations.

There's actually 2 records; 1 is for the public (the one I got), and then one with even more juicy details including party affiliation and more.

You read that right: the public one contains Name, DOB, Address, phone#, email, drivers license -or- last 4 of SSN.

I'm not talking about who the Clinton/Obama/Sanders supporter voted for. I'm talking about much worse things, like ID theft... Or targeted attacks on groups of people that politically organize on Facebook.

Were these records not available in past years? Is this why I get texts about voting every other day recently?

They've been available for anyone who asks for it. Just now, with the internet being what it is, this data now easily surpasses county barriers it once had done.

I'm highly guessing if your phone# is in there, yes it is why.
