Via ABC News.

As if there weren't enough concerns about the integrity of the vote, a
non-partisan civic organization today claimed it had hacked into the
voter database for the 1.35 million voters in the city of Chicago.
Bob Wilson, an official with the Illinois Ballot Integrity Project ?
which bills itself as a not-for-profit civic organization dedicated to
the correction of election system deficiencies ? tells ABC News that
last week his organization hacked the database, which contains
detailed
information about hundreds of thousands of Chicago voters, including
their Social Security numbers, and dates of birth.
"It was a serious identity theft problem, but also a problem that
could
potentially create problems with the election," Wilson said.
A nefarious hacker could have changed every voter's status from active
to inactive, which would have prevented them from voting, he said.
