instance, that doesn't appear to be what's happening. This seems more like a skip tracing usage, which is not allowed. For elections, I could technically use NCOALink as an election official (and we did this) to identify people who have moved and A) not mail to people who moved
out of state and NOT mail to them or B) Mail to people who moved in-state to tell them how to re-register or change something. As a third party law firm, I CANNOT use the system to find people who filed a change of address and still voted. That's not allowed. If violating that
