[kictanet] IEBC 2017 REGISTER OF VOTERS - data protection/privacy law

Thu Jul 20 17:50:36 EAT 2017

Guys, the USA is facing the same issue where thousands of voters are
removing themselves from state voter rolls, prompted by fears that their
information will be revealed by President Donald Trump’s vote fraud
commission.At least 44 of the 50 states have refused requests by the
committee to hand over data. However, this is more  POLITICAL as it is seen
by many as an attempt by Trump to justify why he lost the popular vote.

Maybe @IEBCKenya might consider revealing PARTIAL names, ID number, and
location. I want to stress the word PARTIAL here. A good example is a bank
where they present to you a few letters of your phone number or your
visa/MasterCard and ask you to fill them in to verify that an account is
yours.

Personally, I believe partial voter data might be the way to go here.
