The question that nobody has addressed is just what does that “stolen” data contain? With all that information on voter profiles, just who would benefit inside, and outside of the Democratic Party having such access to that information, and at what cost and profit to be made to the DNC as well?
Follow the money and read just how the Democratic party is handling the privacy of your information, as well as all of the other folks that have given of their own free will such vital information to be collected into this database.
You can start here from an article from The National Memo citing an article from 2013 from “Pro Publica”….
Will Democrats Sell Your Political Opinions to Credit Card Companies?
by Lois Beckett ProPublica, Feb. 5, 2013, 7 a.m
For years, state Democratic parties have been gathering information about individual voters' political leanings. They have noted down the opinions voters shared with canvassers — which candidates they said they supported or their positions on policy issues.
Now, the record of what people told Democratic volunteers may go up for sale — and not just to political groups. Democrats are looking into whether credit card companies, retailers like Target or other commercial interests may want to buy the information.
State Democratic party leaders formed the National Voter File Co-op in 2011 to sell their voter data to approved groups like the NAACP. The goal was to recoup some of the money local Democratic parties spent collecting and updating their local voter lists, which include voters of all parties.
Much of the data the co-op sells comes from the government and is already part of the public record — information such as voters' names, addresses and party affiliation.
But local Democratic parties also have information about voters' views and preferences collected over many campaign cycles. (We wrote about Minnesota's data-collecting "Grandma Brigade" last month.) Some state Democratic parties have used this raw data to create sophisticated estimates of how likely any voter is to vote for a Democrat, support Barack Obama or have certain opinions, say, on abortion or gun control.
As the co-op moves into its second year of selling data in an already crowded marketplace, it's looking for new potential clients — and companies who may use the data for commercial purposes, as opposed to political ones, are on the list.

There is gold in “Dem Der Databases”, and the DNC has known this all along, and doesn’t want the general public to know just what they are doing with it. Just maybe that’s why “Little Debbie” and the DNC stopped the Sanders litigation from going forward, as such exposure in the media to their profit scheme just might not be taken so well by the commons, especially the Democratic Party voters?
Just a thought.
Nice payday money maker for the “Good Ole Democratic Party” I would say.
Now ask yourself why the Koch brothers, those ever loving profit seeking dogs, have been building such a database of Republican voters?
Follow the money they say, as that is what makes the world go round…. And distractions to the real story, stay hiding in plain sight.…
Be safe out there.
