Lets say youre a young, passionate, and ambitious aide for an insurgent campaign. One day a random data breach presents you with your dream come true: Access to confidential campaign files from your beloved boss much-loathed Goliath of an opponent.
What would you do?
Believe it or not, Buzzfeed reports this dream data breach actually happened with a database run by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The DNC provides access to information on registered Democratic voters, so presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Martin OMalley can plan events and do outreach with those annoying phone calls, emails, snail mails, and texts they send us. Folks running for office also have their own accounts, where they can store their own information and connect it to the database when they need to.
Others on Bernie Sanders campaign discovered the data breach, fired the overzealous campaign worker, and reported the error to the DNC.
Alas, no good deed goes unpunished. Instead of plugging the data breach, thanking Bernie Sanders team for their honesty, and moving on, the DNC made a big stink about it and have cut off the Bernie Sanders campaigns access to the database until they can prove they have deleted any data they downloaded from Hillary Clintons campaign.
It is impossible to prove a negative. It is a fallacy. Prove you don't have six bodies buried somewhere in Texas DWS? It's impossible.
Data Breach? Or A Handy Excuse To Hamstring Bernie Sanders Insurgent Campaign?
Seriously? The DNC is cutting off the Bernie Sanders campaigns access to their database of Democratic voters because of a data breach that resulted from their bad decisions and their vendors incompetence? So Bernie Sanders campaign is cut off from contacting likely Democratic voters? Right before the Democratic primaries officially begin? How convenient
If you happen to really want Hillary to win this time around
Or, perhaps they just want random, pissed off voters who do nothing. Who knows?
