I wrote about this issue in the last presidential elections..

There are a lot of donkeys in my neighborhood and I know where they live...cause the data was out there then too...

Cyber mobs appeared around Prop 8 and turned into real mobs...and why this data could end up with negative social outcomes.

It's an issue. From the campaign perspective, this is a huge leap forward: the business of block walking requires access to the voterfile, and an ability to distribute that access to volunteers would feel like manna from heaven - the campaign perspective would totally lose the privacy issue that's so obvious to us.

I think a solution would be to put the voterfile records behind an authentication point and control access to that data, which should be doable enough. Wondering if anyone's suggested that to 'em?
