Seems that the information may be a compilation of publicly available information on each voter (from the publicly accessible state databases) and not a hack of PROTECTED personal information. Your voting record is a public document in many/most jurisdictions and almost anyone can access it … political parties do all the time .. so this story, though interesting that someone was able to monetize publicly available information, is much to do about nothing
