Nearly 200 Million U.S. Voters’ Personal Data Accidentally Leaked by Data Firm Contracted by RNC

Information about more than 198 million U.S. citizens was accidentally leaked earlier this month, after more than a terabyte of data was stored on a publicly accessible server by a marketing firm working for the Republican National Committee.
Deep Root Analytics, a conservative media firm, has confirmed that it owned the exposed data, Gizmodo reported.
The data was discovered on June 12 by Chris Vickery, a cyber risk analyst at UpGuard, which characterized the discovery as "perhaps the largest known exposure of voter information in history."
"Anyone with an internet connection could have accessed the Republican data operation used to power Donald Trump’s presidential victory," UpGuard said.
The Deep Root server — which was publicly accessible between June 1 and June 12 — included data collected by other firms and Republican super PACs, including voters' home addresses, birthdates, phone numbers and opinions on political issues.

notice they dont have social security numbers and other critical stuff like that only publicly available information.
You beat me to it! I read it this morning. From the article:
"How convenient for voters: Pennsylvania and New Jersey allow voters to change registration information online, including address and party affiliation. How convenient for wannabe attackers, too: With more and more personal information available online, it could be cheap and easy to falsely submit thousands of changes online to voter registrations, making some legitimate voters ineligible to cast ballots.
A new study found that it would have cost as little as $1,934 last year to falsely submit online changes to 10 percent of registrations in Pennsylvania, a political battleground state that was pivotal to the 2016 presidential election. A similar attack on 10 percent of New Jersey voters’ registrations would have cost just $1,069, the researchers found.
“It’s clear that impostors can definitely launch these attacks, and it’s not particularly expensive to launch these attacks against these websites,” said Latanya Sweeney, a government professor at Harvard University and one of the study’s authors.

Lack of poll workers and low numbers of voting machines are key contributors to long voting lines, and precincts with more minorities experienced longer waits.
Although many factors may contribute to long lines, little research has assessed how polling place resource allocation contributes to delays. In advance of the 2014 midterm election, this report attempts to fill that gap by analyzing precinct-level data from states where voters faced some of the longest lines in the country in 2012: Florida, Maryland, and South Carolina. Specifically, the study assesses how machine and poll worker distribution contributes to long lines and what role race played in predicting where lines might develop — providing an important roadmap exploring the causes of long lines that have plagued millions of Americans.
