This just throws gasoline on a raging inferno... But here in Indiana, I can legally walk into election central and ask for the voter registration of everybody in the county.
The data contains: Full legal name, address, phone#, email, and Drivers license OR last 4 of SSN.
This would be a breach notification anywhere else.

Edit: seriously, why the downvotes? We're talking about a legal breach that leaks PII if you choose to exert your right to vote.
Buying listening posts is voluntary. Voting shouldn't leak your PII.
- fybe 8y agoI think you are being down voted for not being relevant to the article. Feels more like you are starting a fire next to another one rather than talking about the currently one ablaze. (To expand on your analogy)
- Kaveren 8y agoI think the downvotes are because people might consider this off topic. Though, realistically the damage has already been done. It no longer matters if your SSN is stolen. A very sizable percentage of adults above a certain age already have this data purchasable for $10 a pop. A credit freeze is your best option against identity theft. I think we need to rethink SSNs being used in the way they are today. They were never designed to be your national identity number. We can do better.
