As I said in the other thread, this is all public data from various sources (except the modeling). It will be fully filled out. It's very common for political orgs to have the entire voter file for the US (or be able to query it using SQL)

its the aggregation and easily searchable format for 2/3 of citizens that makes this REALLY dangerous for identity theft. they were still grossly irresponsible. no consequences will happen though.

It's already aggregated and easily searchable.

Seriously.

You could, in the next 10 minutes, go purchase a national voter file with all this info on 190 million plus voters.

Just Google "national voter file purchase".

Those are pre-aggregated, and honestly, really cheap (Usually ~2k).

You can also aggregate it yourself for less if you want.

Are you saying there's a $2k national voter file? Where?

He mentioned this in another thread:

Pardon my ignorance, what is the key data in this leak for identity theft? Eg, I didn't see anything really nasty like SSN, so what makes it easy for identity theft?

(not disagreeing, rather I'm seeking information)

Plus the supposedly "startlingly accurate" preference and views modeling that is linked to all personal details and publically accessible. While someone could always deny it being correct it again raises questions about responsibility in data collection.

How could one tell if a vote is "reluctant" or not, based on the available data?

Lots of ways. Perhaps you know they're a super-loyal Republican voter and you have things that correlate with that, such as willingness to vote when presented with an online poll. You might know they were reluctant because the person shifted between the available alternatives during primary season - perhaps supporting Jeb! Bush, then Marco rubio, then Ted Cruz, then John Kasich, before finally falling into line when Trump won the nomination. You could then infer that Trump was the absolute last choice but that they would still 'hold their nose' and vote for him in the general election, either due to loyalty to GOP on particular policy issues or because of some long-standing hatred of Hillary Clinton, or just a history of being very conformist in political matters (as many, many people are).

More often than not, this data is collected in the millions of phone calls and door-to-door visits conducted by volunteers.

I can not vouch for the accuracy of those. but as a power user of GOPDataCenter (The portal they provide to campaigns and GOP County chairs) the Modeled Ethnicity is pretty terrible.

Can confirm.
