LOL - typed just like Rush says it!

Our own SoS (before he became our guv - he’s a better guv than he ever was SoS - for a Dem that is.), posted personal information like our SSNs on his web site!
Imagine hacking into that. GOLDMINE! Yes, names, address and SSNs all on the SoS official web site.
These dweebs that run those web sites have no clue about security. (trust me, I’m in IT for the state here)
Probably a pretty simple hack, perhaps SQL injection, whatever.

Not so much that data is “missing” as that it’s duplicated in someone else’s hands now. I’d go in to look at or make copies of that info, not delete it. UNLESS I wanted to delete evidence....... so that no one could see crooked records. I’d be a Dem breaking in to cover a crime by deleting data and blaming it on the McCain side. Sort of like arson set to cover a murder.

Voter registrations are public information. You do need standing to request the list though.

When I was the local Republican Chairman, I got the entire county voter registrations on CD in various formats. That was over 200K registrations, including DoB, and home address. We had 22K registrations in my town alone.

A wealth of election-related information is stored on the web site. Missing from it Monday night were detailed records of campaign finance information, results from previous elections and a database of Ohio voters.

Well, ACORN's down for the count - they had to do something...

Unless this is one of those bait and switch - where ACORN hires someone who pretends they're Republican to take the fall...

The "suspicious powder will turn out to be harmless, but we won't know that until after the election. I'm curious. Why do you assume the democrats are blameless? Come to think of it, why do you always rush to their defence?

I’m curious why Democrats would do this to a Democrat SOS who is already doing everything she can to help Democrats win the election.

My guesses are either to:

Make it look like Republicans did it.

Create a diversion/smoke screen to cover something even more evil they have up their sleeves.

“This was probably an inside job “

I don't know, if it were inside it would be slurped into an iPod or memory stick or burned to DVD with nobody knowing it was gone.

This is a way public way of doing things- the message is the break-in, I think, not the missing data.

Spread doubt about the electoral process so you can scream that your total loss was actually a theft from you.

That could be one of the reasons ACORN is doing what it's doing, spending hundreds of thousands, not to register Goofy, but to spread doubt and apprehension before the election.

To help her and other prominent democrats avoid prosecution.

No evidence, no problems.

She can’t be yanked.

SoS is an elective position in Ohio. At best would be a recall which would take months.

All you Ohio voters should show up as soon as the polls open. I wonder if whoever stole the voter database will try to vote the names if voter id is not required.

I know. Yanked meaning recalled. Her deeds cannot go unpunished.

What information is contained in the voter registration database? Anything personal?

RAID 1, Raid 5, and RAID 10 won’t help with deleted data.
But backup data will. If the backups are no good...then this will be very very curious.

But, above all, we cannot disenfranchise anybody, the dead, the illegals, the felons, the cats, the dogs.

If anyone shows up to vote on election day, let them in!!!!!

Mark my words. Bambi's cult members are going to go to the polls demanding to vote (even if they already voted absentee multiple times)

This gives Bambi's cult members another way to attempt to steal the election.

Either it was a hacker trying to make a name for himself.

Or the Rats are the only ones I see gaining by this. Either they get to delete evidence they need covered up (like now we have no idea who the 200,000 fraudulent people were so we can’t fix that until after the election). Or they made a copy of personal/private voter info like names, addresses, date of birth so they can no vote as those people.

Anybody can be impeached but it’s too close to do it now.

Mr Krabs: “Well, the way I see it there are 3 possibilities:
“one she stole it, two she stole it, or three she stole it!”

Spongebob fans should get the reference.
