how did Hillary get my name and address?

[silvershadow]

I got mail from her today. I have only donated to Bernie and a couple down ticket people. That's it. so, how did she get my name and address?I got mail from her today. I have only donated to Bernie and a couple down ticket people. That's it.

[onecaliberal]

1. I've been getting mail from here for more than a month. I wanted to know the same thing.

I've never volunteered or donated to her EVER.

[onehandle]

2. I gave it to her. nt

[virtualobserver]

3. I always suspected you

[Agschmid]

5. I cannot believe you would do this?!?!?

Why?

[onehandle]

19. Wall Street dumped a bunch of cash on my front yard and demanded all DUers' addresses.

What could I do otherwise?

[Agschmid]

22. I knew it...

[DRI]

18. The DNC database

The candidates put the donor information in the DNC database. During the election an individual's contribution records are only available to the candidate receiving the donation. However, do you trust Debbie to keep your data secret from Hillary?

[Agschmid]

4. Are you registered to vote?

That's a public record just FYI.

[truedelphi]

8. yep, and that is the most likely source for the address to appear on the mailers. n/t

10. Yup.

[monicaangela]

6. Now we know who actually looked at the data

don't we. I am also starting to get mail from her campaign, I also have only donated to Bernie. It isn't hard to put 2 and 2 together here.

In 2015, a database of 191 million U.S. voters was exposed on the internet and included names, addresses, birth dates, party affiliations, phone numbers and emails of voters in all 50 U.S. states and Washington. If this is where it comes from, it still doesn't give either campaign the right to utilize that data.

[Agschmid]

12. Are you a registered voter?

Do you realize that is publicly accessible information?

[monicaangela]

20. I am and that doen't mean

my information can be accessed by any campaign that wants to plead for my vote. I haven't received anything from republicans, and at one time there were 17 republican candidates.

Also too: The United States has no state or federal election agency, and thus no central lists. In 2002, the United States Congress passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). HAVA required that each state compile an official state voter database by January 2006. Most states complied with HAVA by gathering the voter files available from each individual county. States decided what information to include, what restrictions to place on the use of their voter database, and how much the database would cost. In the United States, several companies have merged state voter information with commercially obtained data to create comprehensive voter databases that include a plethora of personal details on each voter. These companies often provide United States Voter Files to statutorily permitted or otherwise non-restricted users.

[Agschmid]

23. So you are a registered voter who lives in a state...

Got it.

And that's also how Hillary got it, just FYI.

[monicaangela]

27. Voter information like voter records are not available

to just anyone without some real effort. Try to see if you can get it that easy.

[Agschmid]

29. It's pretty easy...

http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/troubleshooters/Troubleshooters-Investigation-Voting-Records-292310391.html

As an example.

There are many more, try Google.

Voter registration is public information, walk into the town clerk and get the list if you want it (might take time, might take money) both campaigns have those things.

7. Probably a PC virus.

did you do a scan..

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. Are you a registered voter? Do you have a Driver's license? ...

It's no great mystery!

[Agschmid]

25. Conspiracy theories are WAY more fun, don't spoil it!

[hifiguy]

11. Glue the postage paid return envelope to a brick

or send it back with a Bernie sticker in it.

Let Goldman pay her.

[MissDeeds]

17. I love the way you think, hifiguy

[MADem]

13. Probably not the way Sanders got mine. nt

[JTFrog]

15. Yep, mine too. n/t

[taught_me_patience]

14. She's got a camera fixated on your house

Seriously...data can be had many ways.

[nc4bo]

16. I received my 2nd one today. Heehee.... I have plans for this one too.

Haven't opened it but hope there's a piece of paper enclosed (like the 1st one) asking me to tell it to Hillary, all with the SASE

Whatcha gonna do with yours?

I want those superPACS to get all they've paid for and perhaps take my name me off their shitty list.

[NanceGreggs]

21. I've had email ...

... from Bernie and O'Malley, although I have no connection to either of their campaigns.

But it's still amusing that while Bernie's camp got caught red-handed stealing Hill's info, and he had to fire three staffers as a result, the "it was Hillary who stole info" meme is still being trotted out.

Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. And if I were a Bernie supporter looking at the current polls, I guess I'd be desperate, too.

[kgnu_fan]

24. One of my neighbor who voted Democrat for decades found out that she is un-registered just

before caucus. She is adamant supporter for Bernie. She was surprised to find out about her status.... something is going on.

[Beacool]

26. Are a registered Democrat?

If you are, end of mystery.

[DJ13]

28. Mystery solved

[drray23]

30. its called data mining.

I am sure Hillary has a strong data operation. Things such as public records of past elections ( of course it does not say whom you voted for but if you voted) , analytics about maybe your neighborhood, your estimated tax bracket, etc... can be put together to make list of potential voters .

[Codeine]

31. Presumably the same way Bernie got mine?

Fundraising sites buy, sell, and trade your email. If you donate through ActBlue that's probably it.

[MuseRider]

32. My husband did as well.

He has never done anything except vote, I doubt he has signed even many petitions. I have no clue, and neither does he, how she got his name. He laughed and tore it up.

[littlebit]

33. If you are a registered voter

that's how they got it. I have been getting crap from BS and also had one of his volunteers come to my house. I have donated to Hillary but not Bernie. I have also gotten a ton of crap from Ted Cruz too. It' s just that time of the year.

[Agnosticsherbet]

34. She either leased a list or bought the list from one of the other candidates.

It's pretty common.

[840high]

35. I have never donated

to her and get mail asking for money 'cuz she stands with me. Yeah - right.

[itsrobert]

36. OKCupid profile?

I have no idea.

Doesn't Bernie submit names and addresses to the FEC? Might be a public record.

[mwooldri]

37. Obama hacked your iphone... lol....

Seriously it could be the voter registration records.
