Approximately 35 Million voter registration records from 20 states have appeared for sale online. These records include Full Name, Phone, Address, Voting History and 'other' data. There have been other larger leaks and breaches of voter registration records in the past (for example, in 2015 191 Million were found to be freely accessible online)

Details including the affected states are available here: https://www.anomali.com/blog/estimated-35-million-voter-records-for-sale-on-popular-hacking-forum

Why is our voting history retained beyond the current election? This is especially worrisome if you vote in the wrong primaries in an area that has a prevailing opinion that differs sharply from your own.

    The US military is sword to "uphold the Constitution"

    Back when Hawaii was an independent country, sort of, they had a name for this: a "Bayonet Constitution". The US military did not use force to impose a constitution, it practiced national self-defense against bloody poms to allow a constitution to be adopted. Get the difference? So now we reallly need to arrest the siwash son of a bitch that leads the "Prayer Whatthefuckevers" and force him to realize the futility of trying to bring about political change through the use of force and Large Samoans. Most of whom are Mormon, by the way! Named "Ammon"! No shit! Look it up! Fascists, who just recently apologized for being racist all these years: Mormon Newsroom [facebook.com]
