First the ap reports, then why this is so awful
Georgia website that lets people cancel voter registrations briefly displayed personal data

So that new website that Georgia rolled out this week allowing you to delete a person‘s voter registration if you have their drivers license or Social Security number and DOB had a fun little glitch on Monday that lasted for about an hour.
The “glitch”?
It DISPLAYED the social security numbers, drivers license info and DOBs for everyone registered to vote in the state.
EXACTLY what Democrats worried could happen.

An hour is a long time in the tech world. Everyone in Georgia is now at risk of not only having their voters registration deleted, but their identity stolen.
🚨🚨 If you live in Georgia, check your voter registration weekly.
Congrats @GaRepublicans, you’ve taken weird a step farther.
From what I gather, it’s the whole state of Georgia's Voter rolls. So if you’re registered to vote in GA, you’re on that website

Suppose the state legislators were the first to have their registrations deleted?
@DavidSalo would have put a fire under their ass of they had.
@Jezibaba Georgians should flood this with Republican registrations and see how long their enthusiasm for this sort of thing lasts
@Jezibaba Republicans are manufacturing voter fraud concerns so that they can later point to those fraud concerns as a justification for refusing to certify state elections. This is a tried and true Republican tactic, and the DOJ is completely unwilling to do anything about it. It is hard to stand for law and order when law and order are a matter of personal financing.
@sirgeefive exactly.
Such dirty stuff to disenfranchise Democratic Georgia voters...fckin 'ell.
They better fix this pronto and bring charges...
@Jezibaba deliberately leaking for voter intimidation purposes
@Jezibaba
So far I still am enrolled. I’ve been checking monthly.
For anyone who doesn’t know, GA voters can check their status here:

@LanaB another issue was identity theft so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on all your personal info as well. Thanks for the link.
Georgia election officials are encouraging people to use a state website to cancel voter registrations when someone moves out of state or dies, a nod to Republican concerns that there are invalid registrations on the rolls.
