Gotta love how states like CA protect their voters information huh?
 
A data analytics contractor employed by the Republican National Committee (RNC) left databases containing information on nearly 200 million potential voters exposed to the internet without security, allowing anyone who knew where to look to download it without a password.
"We take full responsibility for this situation," said the contractor, Deep Root Analytics, in a statement.
The databases were part of 25 terabytes of files contained in an Amazon cloud account that could be browsed without logging in. The account was discovered by researcher Chris Vickery of the security firm UpGuard. The files have since been secured.

Since many American states still refuse to require voter ID and many of the ones that do allow people to register and vote without proof of citizenship, our Russian victory was easy.

It is in print already. Here:

"A U.S. cybersecurity official said Wednesday that Russia "successfully penetrated" the voter rolls in a small number of states in 2016, NBC News reported.

Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), told the news outlet that Russia targeted 21 states and “an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated.”



DHS had previously notified the 21 states that Russia had attempted to hack their elections systems before the 2016 presidential election. Alabama, California, Colorado, Wisconsin and Florida are among the states that have confirmed they were targeted.

U.S. officials told NBC there is no evidence any of the voter rolls were altered in any way. "

Like I said, nice to know CA protects its voters records. Fucking idiots.
