This could easily be shooting the messenger. The fellow responsible for protecting the Sanders campaign's voter data discovered that the DNC's patch had left their voter information database wide open. He starts determining the extent of the problem, which leaves an audit trail. As a result, he gets tossed over the side. Compare this to the commercial world. When you let one of your business customers discover that you've left their trade secrets wide open to their competitors, what happens? I guarantee that the employee who discovered it does not get sacked.

Overheating CPUs, crappy thermal paste jobs, and LOUD cooling fans. I've wasted slightly more time dealing with these issues than I have upgrading hardware in the last twenty years. And that's saying a lot.
