An identity crisis in Illinois.

Currently, in Illinois, people are asking the State Attorney General to end the publication of voter information by right wing extremists (click here). The problem is that the states have far too much information on voters and it is permitted to be published as public information.

Of course, the reason the voter registration is being published by the extremists is to instill fear of voting. No voter should ever feel their lives are on the line in order to vote. 

If Democrats want to bring about voter participation they should, at the state level, have a voter referendum to end sensitive information from being published.

We live in a time when cyber information of citizens are abused on a regular basis. The abuse is due to inferior security systems hacked by terrorists that are sometimes empowered by sovereign countries. These abuses result in theft for the purpose of identity theft. 

It is important voting records contain information to empower registration and voting. There is absolutely no reason to have that information on a computer server and absolutely secure. NO POLITICAL organization should have a right to publish election records.

So, Democrats in every state should include in their campaigns the right to voter registration privacy. The incidence of identity theft in the USA does not need more victims because their voter registration has been published. SSI numbers must be kept secure. Personal safety and identity security must become a writ in the USA.
