So where is the database?

If there's any legal or ethical problem with doing this using the Ohio Voter Registration files, I would like to know. I recently made an interface to it[1] to use when gathering ballot access petition signatures for Bernie Sanders in Ohio[2]. It's freely downloadable data, though[3], and the Board of Elections officials I shared it with weren't aghast at the idea.
