This appears to be true. But until shown otherwise all that it seems to be is an overzealous DMV idiot who misused their access to sensitive information. It happens in every single election on both sides. I wonder what would happen if a similar investigation to see how many times people with access to government databases pulled info on Obama, McCain, Biden.
But that's not even the issue. The issue is that one idiot breaking the law and invading someone's privacy is not equal to violation of first amendment rights.
