Every once and a while, neglecting your civic duties pays off.

First and foremost, let me clarify...
I believe in voting. I vote, you should vote, let's all vote, viva lAmerica.

I'm just not currently registered to vote (in my specific county of residence). I have an excuse, though. We just moved to Nashville a few months ago. I don't have a driver's license yet, which is when I usually fill out my registration form, blah, blah, blah.

But, to the point... turns out, the week before Christmas, thieves broke into one of the election commission offices here in Nashville and stole multiple computers. Here's a little tidbit from an article published on 12/29:

"As we looked deeper … we now know that full Social Security numbers were included on the voter files contained on one or more of the stolen computers," county Election Administrator Ray Barrett said.


Bummer.

I'm hearing about it now because several of my coworkers are getting the "Hi, your identity has been compromised" letter.

I suppose you could say, just this once, that it's a good thing I'm not (YET) registered to vote.
