Anti-Trump Protesters Post Personal Information Of Electoral College Members

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Dissent

Blake Montgomery reports:

The #NotMyPresident Alliance, a national anti-Donald Trump protest group, has released the personal information of dozens of Electoral College members in states that voted Republican.

A spreadsheet distributed to supporters Wednesday included the personal phone numbers, addresses, religions, races, genders, and candidate preference of the electors. The document does not have a complete set of data on every elector.

Technically, this is not a breach or leak if the spokesperson of #NotMyPresident is being truthful in saying that  the information in the document was publicly available and that his group uncovered it through Google searches. That said, it will be viewed as either a tool to encourage engagement in the process or harassment.
