    The most disturbing part of this isn't the volume & detail of voter info that was compromised......It's the collection of it.

    The leaked info "paints a detailed portrait of virtually all of America’s 200 million voters."https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/06/19/republican-contractor-database-every-voter-exposed-internet-12-days-researcher-says/


    "These political data firms might as well be working for the Russians."
    ...do we know they aren't?

    This is a such an important point: Taken to this extreme level, voter targeting really is a threat to democracy.
