This lecture and the next lecture will focus on people who are living in the United States, in the
United States.
Voter records are openly accessible to the public, allowing anyone to retrieve them for free.
You can initiate a search for a record by entering a person's name, similar to what we have done in
the previous lecture.
In each record, you'll be able to find full name, party affiliation, home address, date of birth,
and relatives.
And in my opinion, all of these information are important.
The first website that I would like to show you is called Voter Records.
You will find all the links in the resources of this lecture.
This website will allow you to search for a voter record in all of these 19 states.
Now, in my case, I'm just going to search for anyone.
I'm just going to say Rishi Khabra.
We already know that he is living in California, and this website doesn't have voter records of the
people who are living in California, as you can see here.
So I'm just going to say search just to show you an example.
And you can see that we did not find anything.
And this search result is a sponsored search result.
And it will ask you to pay a fee in order for you to find some information.
But it's not going to show you anything new, or the information that you are going to find are information
that we have covered in the previous lecture.
So let me just search for the last name Cobra and then say search.
And as you can see here, we can see that there is a person called Paavali Cobra.
And this is the home address.
And we can see that there is no party affiliation and the voter status is active.
If we scroll down a little bit, we can see that there is a person called Michael Cobra who is living
at this address and has registered to vote in this county.
I can click on this record for example, and find some additional information.
So let me scroll down.
We can see the registration date, the voter status and where he registered to vote.
We can also find some public records.
But these are all paid information.
We don't want this.
And we can see his home address.
We can also see the people or the neighbors that are living in the same area.
The second website that I would like to show you, which I think is a very useful website and it is
better than the previous one, is called Vote Ref and you will find the link in the resources of this
lecture.
You can see that it has records of almost all states.
So let me search for Rishi Cobra for example, and then hit enter.
And we can see that there are people with similar names.
So we can see Cameron instead of Cobra, and we can see another person with the name Cobra.
And we can see the registered address or the home address, date of birth, their vote history, and
their party affiliation.
And we can see that they have voted to the Republican Party.
I can click on this name and find some additional information like the registration date, the status,
and his votes history.
Now let's come back to the search results.
As I said before, we can see the date of birth and we can see the day as well, because if you go to
two people search, you are only going to see in which month he was born and in which year, but not
in which day.
So if we come back to the voter records, we can see in which day this person was born.
This is very useful.
And I'm going to show you why.
The last website that I'm going to show you is called Black Book Online Info.
You want to go to the link that you will find in the resources of this lecture.
And if you are searching for a person who is living in California, for example, then you can select
the state and then you will find some resources to find photo records of the people who are living in
California.
So for me, Black Book Online is all in one resource to find information about people.
I'm going to open the first website, and we can see that if we want to find the voter record, then
we need to add the date of birth.
And this is why it's very important, because sometimes in order for you to find information about a
person, you need the full date of birth.
And in our case, we can find the date of birth in one of the voter records or in true people search
engines.
So you want to add the date of birth.
And here you want to add the driver license ID number, which we don't have because we didn't gather
information about Rishi Kapoor, who was living in the United States, and their social security number.
Now, you might be asking, how can we get these information?
Now, sometimes you'll be able to find these information online using the methods that I have covered
in previous lectures.
Or you can find the person's email address, which is something that we have already found in tree people
search and then go to Harvard, Pinpoint and see whether one of their email addresses has been found
in a data leak or not.
And if the email address was found in a data leak, then you can check whether Social Security numbers
or driver's license IDs are in this database.
And then you can download this database if this was legal in your country.
And then check this information.
And after you find this information you can go to a website like this and add the missing information
and see the voter record.
So in this lecture we have learned how can we find voter records of people who are living in the United
States.
So if you weren't able to find the person in True People Search or any other people search engine,
then you can check in voter records because they might have removed themselves from people search engines.
And it's always a good idea to search in voter records.
