If Cruz is willing to pry into Republican's voting records for his campaign

Have you ever worked on a campaign? A campaign without a huge database of voting records is not a campaign.

I think you are right. Team Cruz uses data mining (another thing I hate) to put together a list of likely conservative voters. Then Team Cruz cross references that list with public voting records to see if they are regular voters. If the potential Cruz voter is not a regular voter Team Cruz sends them a shamming letter. This was likely a test to see how well the tactic works. I still find it offensive and I certainly hope it blows up in Team Cruzs’ face.

“Have you ever worked on a campaign? A campaign without a huge database of voting records is not a campaign.”

Voting records that are shared with neighbors in order to shame and degrade the would be voter? It looks like you, yourself are in need of an American refresher course. Voting is a right, not a requirement for good standing among politicians or society. I’ll bet you don’t eat enough vegetables or exercise according to Federal guidelines. We’ll just have to see what kind of pressure we can bring to bear on your personal standing with your neighbors to fix that. I’ll bet they can bring you in line!
If that doesn’t work, we’ll put your picture up in the post office along with your exercise and eating habits.

Having a database is one thing. Using it to shame and coerce people isn’t.
