I'm sure "Electric Boogaloo" would have shown up in a headline if it didn't use up half of the character limit.

Having worked with the GOP voter lists here in Florida, the GOP has some incredible algorithms which predict voter turn-out by cross-referencing magazine subscriptions, cable subscriptions, season ticket holdings, past voting behavior, etc. (The Dems have this too, but are a ways behind because they only started doing this about two years ago while the GOP started six years ago.) The folks buying this data must be amateurs or not be members/affiliated with the executive committee because the GOP's database is pretty incredible. Besides, all voter data except who you voted for and your ssn are public records anyway (at least in Florida). Why buy it?

The story did break yesterday when this was first dugg, at the close of business Thursday.It has since been updated with a comment from Secretary of State Coffman and more supporting information. ePluribus Media, a group of citizen journalists, "broke" this story; i.e., they did the investigating, made the contacts, got the quotes, and were the first to report it.Now if you want to criticize the original digger for failing to update the title, fine. Take it up with him/her. But the lag by diggers in taking interest in a breaking story is a lousy reason to bury it.

Bust out the tin-foil conspiracy theorists! A little bit of sketchy information can go a long, long way.

"Also in his online resume, Kopelman states that from 1999 to 2002 he worked in Washington, DC under the 'brilliant leadership of Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo.'"Tancredo:- Doesn't believe in evolution (and other facts like gravity, the electromagnetic laws that make his communication possible, etc)- Associates with people known to illegally profit from voter data- Called Miami a "third world country"Yeah he's not getting the nomination, go ron paul
