Seller is asking $42,200 for all 19 US state voter databases.

The voter information for approximately 35 million US citizens is being peddled on a popular hacking forum, two threat intelligence firms have discovered.
Researchers say the data contains details such as full name, phone numbers, physical addresses, voting history, and other voting-related information. It is worth noting that some states consider this data public and offer it for download for free, but not all states have this policy.

The supposed data comes from 19 US states. The list and pricing, as advertised by the hacker himself, is as follows below:

Montana - 1000$
Louisiana - 5000$ (3 Million Voters)
Iowa - 1100$
Utah - 1100$
Oregon - 500$
South Carolina - 2500$
Wisconsin - 12500$ (6 Million Voters)
Kansas - 200$
Georgia - 250$
New Mexico - 4000$
