A heavily redacted government report describes PRC analysis of voter-registration data from 18 states and visible proposed uses involving personally identifiable information, target identification, and public-opinion analysis, while obscuring the report’s date, sourcing, actors, and much of its reasoning.
The visible title frames the subject as analysis of U.S. voter-registration information from 18 states, together with plans for U.S.-person matching and public-opinion analysis. Redactions prevent identification of the responsible entities and the report’s complete title or provenance.
“Plans to Conduct U.S. Person Matching and Public Opinion Analysis;”
Visible lists include voter names, birth dates, home mailing addresses, party affiliation, telephone information, historical voting records, military affiliation, and polling-place information. The report says the North Carolina data alone covered more than eight million voters and gives a more detailed PII list for Kansas.
“voter names, birth dates, home mailing address, and political party affiliation.”
“the North Carolina data contained information for over 8 million voters”
Visible passages say the voter data would support mining PII on U.S. citizens and could be used to analyze or discover the identities of important U.S. targets. Another visible passage identifies occupation and education-background PII as a priority, but surrounding language that would explain who set that priority is redacted.
“mining PII on U.S. citizens”
“the identities of important U.S. targets”
“PII on U.S. citizens’ occupation and education background was a priority”
