Entire US voter registration record leaks (191 million)

[vacuum]

This just in...



I'm Chris Vickery. I know your phone number, address, date of birth, and more (if you're registered to vote in the US).

I have recently downloaded voter registration records for 191 million Americans from a leaky database. I believe this is every registered voter in the entire country. To be very clear, this was not a hack.

The mysterious, insecure database is currently configured for public access. No password or other authentication is required at all. Anyone with an internet connection can grab all 300+ gigabytes.

We're talking about first name, middle name, last name, home address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, party affiliation, and logs of whether or not you voted in primary/general elections all the way back to 2000. I looked myself up in the Texas table. It's accurate.

It is not known whether or not "high risk professionals" are included in this database. However, I have looked up several police officers in my city, and their data is indeed present.
I've been working with journalists and authorities for over a week to get this database shut down or secured. No luck so far.

tl;dr: Feel sorry for any journalist that already wrote a "Biggest privacy breaches of 2015" story.

EDIT 2: I'll sum up the core issue for those that are denying the newsworthiness of this discovery:

Our society has never had to confront the idea of all these records, all in one place, being available to anyone in the entire world for any purpose instantly.

That's a hard pill to swallow.

Donald Trump: Barry Soetoro Changed His Name To Barack Hussein Obama .... ....A quick search of D.C. Board of Elections records conducted by PJ Media found a voter named “Barry Soetoro” registered to vote in the nation’s capital with the address … 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.

That’s correct – at the White House.

The school registration card lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His religion was listed as Muslim.

So is Obama returning to his childhood roots or re-adopting the name of his stepfather?
Not likely.
“Did President Obama submit this registration, or is it a fraud? Who knows?” asks PJ Media’s J. Christian Adams, an election lawyer who formerly served in the Voting Rights Section at the U.S. Department of Justice and is author of the New York Times bestselling book “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department.” (http://superstore.wnd.com/books/Current-Affairs/Injustice-Exposing-the-Racial-Agenda-of-the-Obama-Justice-Department-Hardcover)

“Obtaining the actual registration forms submitted to the D.C. elections board might answer the question,” Adams continues. “In my view, it is worse if it is a fraud because it illustrates the ease at which one can trick the system. Or perhaps, President Obama wants out of crime-infested Chicago after his term is up and registered using his old name.


“I’ll go with option 1, the fraud,” Adams concludes.
Obama’s American mother, Ann Dunham, separated from her first husband, Barack Obama Sr., in 1963 when the future president was 2 years old. Dunham and Obama Sr. later divorced. Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian, and moved to Indonesia sometime between 1966 and 1967.
When he was 10 years old, little Soetoro, a.k.a. Obama, moved to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents.
