160. Considering this software is what every canvass and its mother uses...

This is crazy mindboggling. So much PII available, and it sounds like it to was everyone who was attached to VAN was exposed. Parties like the Working Families Party, who are constantly running candidates against other middle of the road Dems, also use VAN. This is pretty nuts considering these canvasses are oftentimes separate from the Democratic machine (WFP being the obvious case).

But yeah, I also have done some DBA, and I would be in no way surprised if someone screwed the pooch on the backend. While d/ling and probably doing analysis on some of that data is important, the data collected by HRC is probably limited to signatures. In reality, it might provide them a slight edge in understanding voters who just sign everything to get canvassers away, and also a slight increase in efficiency because they could skip people who had signed support for Hillary multiple times at this point (if they've even gotten to the 2nd round of canvassing at this point). But unless HRC's campaign is crazy enough to use VAN as a central location for data storage and analysis, and not just for its API then I don't know what more advantage they would gain out of this.
