Another reason not to vote, uh? How many millions of people would that include?
Supreme Court can not be bought ... they are smart enough to see through this. Fats Domino says it all:

My state is against getting involved with turning this info over to them. I am glad of that! Apparently they want to make our info public too, great! No chance of identity theft there! They want to go back to check how a person voted too, since 2000, unreal,lol

Just doing what he was sent there to do. Tired of getting fiscal responsibility beaten by the votes of dead people.

Maybe the question should have been "Will CNN make it to 2020?"

And just how would they do that? Ever put your name on a ballot? They're secret you know so while they may be able to tell who voted they can't tell HOW they voted.

Since all this information is already given to the political parties as well as used in other social sciences research, I am not seeing a particular problem.
The only private thing about voting is who you vote for. When you voted,where you voted, your voting history and your voter registration information has been available. But I agree. With the current paranoid attitude about the government, I am sure this will dissuade even more people from registering to vote. And that's not what we need.

You gotta be joking..., I mean I haven't followed too closely, but IIRC the proposed budget had calculation error of 2 trillion $ in it. How can you be fiscally responisble, if can't even get the math right? Besides the GOP loves spending as much as the Dems, they just want to spend on different things

US political thread reopened and two other related topics merged.
Can I respectfully ask that we all refrain from personal attacks etc. etc.

I feel we do need some type of intra-state voter registration database. Especially these days when it is much more common for people to move around between states, the old state-centric record keeping may be obsolete.
Personally, I think the appropriate solution is for the individual states to develop their own inter-state data sharing schema without involving the federal government. But if the states are unable or unwilling to do so, I guess it is up to the Federal Government. Protip to the state governments: If you don't come up with solutions for problems, the federal government will be more than happy to take that responsibility and power away from you. It is not so much a case of the federal government taking power away from the states as much as a case of the states giving power to the federal government.

This is why the brouhaha over the Russians hacking efforts are more amusing than alarming. |

I absolutely agree, and that is probably a big part of why an "outsider" won the election. I even wish he was frugal in the vein of Warren Buffett, but what can you do.

what good will that do? You may as well consider info from Illinois & Arizona public. And if you live in those states, you would be prudent to take what measures you need to to prevent ID theft.

I was just kidding ... the Russians will do name matching though after they hack Trump's list and that's the truth.
