Dems Warn in Multiple States: We’ll Know If You Don’t Vote, and So Will Your Neighbors

Individuals in at least three states have received literature from Democratic campaigns, organizations, or state parties warning that their voter records are public information. In one of those states, residents received documents that reveal if their immediate neighbors have voted in past elections.

The language used on all three of the documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show that a unified theme of "who you vote for is private, but whether or not you vote is public record" has been used throughout in an apparent attempt to push voters to the polls.

I'm a committee person, and this information is indeed public, at least in our state. I can't speak for the D's, but on the R side, these lists are used in setting priorities for door knocking, mailings, and phone calls to get out the vote. Since we don't have any D's registered in the household, we rarely get any of their literature. That's one advantage to the information being public. On the whole I'd rather it were kept private, but these are the times in which we live.

I tend to agree that making this information public seems intrusive. There is much more out there about us that is also intrusive (property records, mortgage information, court proceedings, etc). I've never heard of anything so horrid as what is being described here. It's an abuse of the citizens in my book.

"They said I didn't vote in the last two! I did, I did, I don't know why they were saying that!"

Perhaps someone discarded her ballot if she voted absentee. It has happened to one of our family members. "Lost" between D controlled county offices and the precinct where it should have been counted.
