They probably have the roles in a data format.. What is to stop an organization from making "donations" to the GOP in those peoples name?
They would have the full legal name and address from the list.
Who in this world can check every political campaign to verify that their name is on their list of donors?

(19,449 posts)your registration, They log that you are voting. If a primary they ask which ballot you want (usually Democratic or Republican), they log that.
The point I am trying to make is that they have a valid name, address and voting precinct. They have everything they need to log a contribution that the person did not make to a group they did not want. An easy way to funnel illegal money to whoever they want.

(19,449 posts)Just wonder as several years ago I was sent a legal letter asking me to verify that I had signed a petition for some bill here in Arkansas that I was very much opposed to. A Republican petition to something (I think about curbing the petitions).
They had all my voter information. The precinct, my address etc, but the signature was way too neat to be me.
So if whoever can do that, then they can funnel illegal contributions with valid personal information.
How much would someone like Musk pay for voter registration information to send 100 million to the GOP via leagal information.
What $5000 at a time via the web sites.. Probably take a minute or so.

(8,336 posts)Why resort to making thousands or tens of thousands of donations through straw donors when there are no limitations on corporate donations, light or dark? Seems unnecessary...
I expect in reality, GOP donations from corporations and oligarchs, most of them in the form of dark money total billions of dollars. GOP has ninety-nine problems but money ain't one of them.
