https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/7/14/15973464/white-house-election-integrity-doxxThe White House just responded to concerns it would release voters sensitive personal information by releasing a bunch of voters sensitive personal information.
Last month, the White Houses election integrity commission sent out requests to every state asking for all voters names, party IDs, addresses, and even the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, among other information. The White House then said this information would be made available to the public.
A lot of people did not like the idea, fearing that their personal information could be made public. So some sent emails to the White House, demanding that it rescind the request.
This week, the White House decided to make those emails from concerned citizens public through the commission's new website. But the administration made a big mistake: It didnt censor any of the personal information such as names, email addresses, actual addresses, and phone numbers included in those emails.

Just the information you'd need to find that perfect place to gather and burn a cross.

None of us, none of you, are safe from the criminals in the White House.
End times could be near, especially when you throw into the mix North Korea.

I'm glad the plan failed.

They want to intimidate people for expressing opinions. If anyone on that list is threatened, harmed, or insulted, it is grounds to sue.

Intimidate anyone with an original thought or who dares question them. Authoritarians.
