Especially terrifying given voter registration info is usually (always?) public and finding out who lives at an address is usually not terribly difficult ("reverse address" or "neighbor" search)

The other year I was doxxed because of voter registration info. I couldn't even fathom that was public but dog bless, it is.

And the thing is it doesn't have to be this way. Other countries I have lived in have functional government websites and a decent amount of privacy. It's just in the US we have an obsession with government contracting driven by legalized corruption. The country is fucked. Even if Harris wins, it is only delaying the inevitable.

Messy, maybe, but outright incompetence is far more common in the US. As the article shows, it's the rule rather than the exception here.

Americans are not uniquely stupid, absolutely. It just our system of legalized corruption results in the stupid being put in charge of things they shouldn't be
