What do they mean by “fields”? Maybe precincts? Couldn’t be; precinct boundaries are not secret.

Fields could be a computer term for how data is organized in a file. Name, address1 ... would be useful for hackers.

Maybe the data fields in the voter registration system?

Database fields.

I don't see how knowing where the fields are in any way endangers their system. If you can hack in all you have to do is look up your own data or the data of someone you know and you should be able to figure out how the fields are laid out.

She seems to be talking about computer fields, as in the layout of their database information, which would be useful info for hackers.
