Private info for hundreds of Kansas voters exposed by Florida

Posted on January 22, 2018 by Dissent

Jonathan Shorman and Hunter Woodall report:

Partial Social Security numbers for nearly 1,000 Kansas voters were released publicly by Florida after Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office provided the data as part of a program that looks for double voter registrations.

Kobach called the disclosure unfortunate but defended the program, called Crosscheck, as key to his prosecutions of voter fraud. He has obtained nine convictions since gaining the ability to prosecute in 2015.
