EARTH TO POLINAUT
"OK, this is where I get suspicious. WHY is there a code. And where is that 'vote' going? Is every voter being identified with a special code and therefore is input entered by the user during a presentation being sent back to the Republican Party of Minnesota?" Source: Polinaut
The CD is from the Republican Party of Minnesota. Where the heck else would it go?

Umm...to a third party company, perhaps? To a subcontractor, perhaps?
Michael. I've actually already said this is several of the postings. This appears to be the tack the spin is going to take and as I told Mark Drake, it would be a mistake since the blogosphere is pretty tech savvy and they'll take you apart.
You have to understand what a Flash program is. The beauty and versatility of Flash is its interactvity. So when you answer a question in Flash, it can reasonably be expected to lead you to a different part of the presentation. You don't know.
The CD isn't being mailed to just Republicans so, theoretically, once you revealed yourself to be, for example, a STRONG Democrat, you could get a different presentation that approaches the issue differently. THAT's the beauty of Flash.
So, no, it's not really a reasonable expectation to say if you click something in Flash, you should know where the information goes.
And the folks who wrote the privacy laws in Minnesota know that too. The problem is, this stuff didn't exist when the laws were written...so the laws pertain only to what ISPs doing.
The guy who co-wrote that law, by the way, was Tim Pawlenty. So you may take issue with what I think about the privacy of personal data...but you might want to take it up with him too.
So what Bob, a member of the media BTW, is saying is, it is NOT against the law what the GOP is doing, But it should be!
Um, your bias is showing.
