When I worked for Kelly Temporary Service, I was assigned to "check credit reports" for various banks. Where was this done? Lucas County Courhouse, 2nd floor computer. It was open to anyone, no restrictions. I'm not surprised someone can find out allot on a person that way. I saw everything from name address, type of criminal record, warrents, Social Security Numbers, etc. Another possible issue with security, Lucas county keep books of registered voters, on tables for potential voters to go through. This gives acces to anyone's address and phone number. This is according ton one poll worker, who made "LOVE NOTES" on said topic, to the Lucas County Elections board. This same source "Ms. Rabbit"or similar last name, kept mentioning to this media person, that nothing had changed...and polling judges had not put a stop to it. Point being, it's too much to have this information monitored, restricted and kept on a need-to know basis. I had to give no identifying infomation to use the PC, nor snoop at other people's names, as I tried to "check the correct polling station, for myself"... so to speak. Once again, The Joe the plumber issue is another flaw in Ohio and Lucas County's proceedures, showing how corrupt the system really is. What apauls me... "live and let live" or even agree to disagree is not a concept amoung some people nowdays, no matter where they stand on political issues. For a man who claims he will run a clean campaign, his workers and foloowers are ruining that reputation. I as an undecided and undeclared voter see that as a turn-off.
