LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Court records indicate sensitive personal data for an unknown number of Doña Ana County voters — particularly those ages 19 or 20 — was compromised in a binational identity theft and check-cashing scam allegedly spearheaded locally by a county clerk's office document technician.
Maria Ceniceros, 42, of Anthony, New Mexico, admitted to federal agents that she'd picked through the Doña Ana County voter registration database records on her work computer to glean "names, birthdates, and Social Security numbers" to supply to scam organizers in Mexico, according to court records.
Federal authorities believe the data was then used by people in Mexico to compile fraudulent tax returns, which were then reportedly mailed to the IRS from locations within the United States, such as El Paso, Anthony and Canutillo, according to court records.

and this is why we can’t have nice things....
Did the voter rolls have SS numbers? Otherwise it’s just names and addresses and voter I’d numbers, which is useless for getting credit.
