I'm not saying it isn't a problem. IIRC, there was a breach in Georgia with a lot of extra information similar to what you describe.

If it isn't provided by the state, Political parties buy lots of information based on the voter rolls. They know alot.

Nobody cares whether it could be worse, the point is that it must be better[1].

The data leaked is enough to gain access to almost a hundred million people's account on any web-service or, as some other comment pointed out, in Mexico's case even to real-life services like banking.

[1] The United States are not the norm. You might live there, but that makes you a minority of the world population. There are some nations that actually value democracy and privacy, not just on paper.
