If the vote you rocked, your personal info can be grokked

Even limited voter rolls can be linked to identify people, research shows

Your voter data could be used against you. A foreign intelligence service that wished to identify the family members of deployed military personnel could do so by cross-referencing public voter record data and social media posts.

An employer who only wanted to hire employees with a specific political affiliation could do so by analyzing the primary ballot history of job applicants.

An identity fraud ring seeking to open credit accounts in the names of other people could identify voters whose mail has been returned (via voter file suspense indicators) to take over those addresses using bogus change-of-address requests.
