Description
The state was forced to pull the
plug on a voter registration Web site after it was found to be exposing
sensitive data about voters. Because of a Web programming error, the
Web site was allowing anyone on the Internet to view data such as
the voter's name, date of birth, driver's license number, and political
party affiliation. On some forms, the last four digits of Social Security
numbers could also be seen.
