Data about voters and donors

US political parties and campaigns collect so much data about voters and donors that the possibility crackers will get copies of the data is a significant danger.

I think this is a symptom of a bigger problem: campaigns have too much data about people. That data can get misused in various ways. Even the normal practice of campaigning suffers, because this invites campaigns to say different things to different supporters, and something else to the public.
