1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:07,400
This lecture and the next lecture will focus on people who are living in the United States, in the

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,360
United States.

3
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:15,260
Voter records are openly accessible to the public, allowing anyone to retrieve them for free.

4
00:00:15,290 --> 00:00:21,200
You can initiate a search for a record by entering a person's name, similar to what we have done in

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,430
the previous lecture.

6
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:29,630
In each record, you'll be able to find full name, party affiliation, home address, date of birth,

7
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:30,950
and relatives.

8
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:35,240
And in my opinion, all of these information are important.

9
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:39,620
The first website that I would like to show you is called Voter Records.

10
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:44,180
You will find all the links in the resources of this lecture.

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:51,020
This website will allow you to search for a voter record in all of these 19 states.

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,980
Now, in my case, I'm just going to search for anyone.

13
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,990
I'm just going to say Rishi Khabra.

14
00:00:57,110 --> 00:01:03,830
We already know that he is living in California, and this website doesn't have voter records of the

15
00:01:03,850 --> 00:01:07,300
people who are living in California, as you can see here.

16
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:12,520
So I'm just going to say search just to show you an example.

17
00:01:14,380 --> 00:01:17,050
And you can see that we did not find anything.

18
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:20,890
And this search result is a sponsored search result.

19
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:25,330
And it will ask you to pay a fee in order for you to find some information.

20
00:01:25,330 --> 00:01:30,790
But it's not going to show you anything new, or the information that you are going to find are information

21
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:33,460
that we have covered in the previous lecture.

22
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:39,370
So let me just search for the last name Cobra and then say search.

23
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:46,120
And as you can see here, we can see that there is a person called Paavali Cobra.

24
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,950
And this is the home address.

25
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:53,680
And we can see that there is no party affiliation and the voter status is active.

26
00:01:54,100 --> 00:02:00,280
If we scroll down a little bit, we can see that there is a person called Michael Cobra who is living

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,960
at this address and has registered to vote in this county.

28
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:10,800
I can click on this record for example, and find some additional information.

29
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,110
So let me scroll down.

30
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:19,380
We can see the registration date, the voter status and where he registered to vote.

31
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:22,080
We can also find some public records.

32
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,120
But these are all paid information.

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,260
We don't want this.

34
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:28,050
And we can see his home address.

35
00:02:28,050 --> 00:02:32,580
We can also see the people or the neighbors that are living in the same area.

36
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:38,940
The second website that I would like to show you, which I think is a very useful website and it is

37
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:46,530
better than the previous one, is called Vote Ref and you will find the link in the resources of this

38
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:47,220
lecture.

39
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:51,960
You can see that it has records of almost all states.

40
00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:56,580
So let me search for Rishi Cobra for example, and then hit enter.

41
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:00,210
And we can see that there are people with similar names.

42
00:03:00,210 --> 00:03:06,030
So we can see Cameron instead of Cobra, and we can see another person with the name Cobra.

43
00:03:06,030 --> 00:03:12,200
And we can see the registered address or the home address, date of birth, their vote history, and

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,850
their party affiliation.

45
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:18,110
And we can see that they have voted to the Republican Party.

46
00:03:18,530 --> 00:03:25,610
I can click on this name and find some additional information like the registration date, the status,

47
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,800
and his votes history.

48
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,740
Now let's come back to the search results.

49
00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:37,220
As I said before, we can see the date of birth and we can see the day as well, because if you go to

50
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:44,210
two people search, you are only going to see in which month he was born and in which year, but not

51
00:03:44,210 --> 00:03:45,200
in which day.

52
00:03:45,230 --> 00:03:51,560
So if we come back to the voter records, we can see in which day this person was born.

53
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:53,030
This is very useful.

54
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:54,800
And I'm going to show you why.

55
00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:59,840
The last website that I'm going to show you is called Black Book Online Info.

56
00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:03,890
You want to go to the link that you will find in the resources of this lecture.

57
00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:09,680
And if you are searching for a person who is living in California, for example, then you can select

58
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,810
the state and then you will find some resources to find photo records of the people who are living in

59
00:04:16,810 --> 00:04:17,860
California.

60
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:23,830
So for me, Black Book Online is all in one resource to find information about people.

61
00:04:24,010 --> 00:04:30,850
I'm going to open the first website, and we can see that if we want to find the voter record, then

62
00:04:30,850 --> 00:04:33,040
we need to add the date of birth.

63
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,450
And this is why it's very important, because sometimes in order for you to find information about a

64
00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:40,570
person, you need the full date of birth.

65
00:04:40,570 --> 00:04:48,640
And in our case, we can find the date of birth in one of the voter records or in true people search

66
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,450
engines.

67
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,030
So you want to add the date of birth.

68
00:04:52,030 --> 00:04:58,390
And here you want to add the driver license ID number, which we don't have because we didn't gather

69
00:04:58,390 --> 00:05:04,600
information about Rishi Kapoor, who was living in the United States, and their social security number.

70
00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:08,920
Now, you might be asking, how can we get these information?

71
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:14,980
Now, sometimes you'll be able to find these information online using the methods that I have covered

72
00:05:14,980 --> 00:05:16,570
in previous lectures.

73
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:22,080
Or you can find the person's email address, which is something that we have already found in tree people

74
00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:27,930
search and then go to Harvard, Pinpoint and see whether one of their email addresses has been found

75
00:05:27,930 --> 00:05:29,340
in a data leak or not.

76
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:35,250
And if the email address was found in a data leak, then you can check whether Social Security numbers

77
00:05:35,250 --> 00:05:38,820
or driver's license IDs are in this database.

78
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:44,040
And then you can download this database if this was legal in your country.

79
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,230
And then check this information.

80
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:52,230
And after you find this information you can go to a website like this and add the missing information

81
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:54,540
and see the voter record.

82
00:05:55,260 --> 00:06:01,890
So in this lecture we have learned how can we find voter records of people who are living in the United

83
00:06:01,890 --> 00:06:02,730
States.

84
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:08,970
So if you weren't able to find the person in True People Search or any other people search engine,

85
00:06:08,970 --> 00:06:15,450
then you can check in voter records because they might have removed themselves from people search engines.

86
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:20,250
And it's always a good idea to search in voter records.
