I think they get it for nothing using the FOIA. Or just copy costs.From your link:
My bold.
Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said the notice is “a standard mailer that folks at the Iowa Republican Party and other get-out-the-vote groups have used to help motivate low-propensity voters,” according to Politico.
So according to your link this is not the first time this form has been used, but suddenly everyone is all pissed off about it, well not everyone. Also according you your link, the guy raising a stink is a Rubio supporter.

There may have been other similar mailers but the ones have seen so far, they did not use people's names and they did not show up looking like an official document.

Ever thought the State might stop trying to make a buck by selling this information to campaigns, PACs and others. Sure it's public record, but do you honestly think campaigns would go to the expense of compiling it themselves. The State serves it up on a silver platter, all just to make money.
According to articles I've read the information is licensed (sold) to political organizations, ever know a State to license anything for free?
Ted Cruz's campaign is under fire for a mailer it sent out in Iowa that is designed to look like an official government document.
The mailers tell the recipients they have a "voting violation" for failing to caucus in previous elections, and grades them on an A to F basis, Politico reports. The paper has the words "official public record at the top," and also includes actual names of the recipients neighbors.
Republican Secretary of State Paul Pate slammed the campaign, saying the mailer "misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law.”

The information is free, but a copy of it costs money - if you were to get a simple voter list from the county clerk, it'll usually cost about $5 for the data on a CD. Most campaigns use proprietary voterfile databases, though - which are third party commercial products, and cost a whole lot more.

I know if a candidate sent something to my neighbors disclosing how many times I voted and then graded me on that record, I may show up at the caucus would it definitely wouldn't be for that candidate.
To me that's an invasion of privacy.

Every state is different - apparently Iowa is pretty shitty when it comes to files - a statewide file will cost $1,500.
It's a moot point, though - Ted Cruz is using "Data Center", or whatever it is that Voter Vault changed their name to.

Great, I'll just file your post under the unsubstantiated claim category.
Define "cheating".

What Catherine Frazier is saying is probably a lie.
After seeing the mailers, Iowa’s secretary of state, Paul Pate a Republican, issued a statement condemning Cruz’s tactic:
“Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law. Accusing citizens of Iowa of a “voting violation” based on Iowa Caucus participation, or lack thereof, is false representation of an official act. There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses.
Additionally, the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office never “grades” voters. Nor does the Secretary of State maintain records related to Iowa Caucus participation. Caucuses are organized and directed by the state political parties, not the Secretary of State, nor local elections officials. Also, the Iowa Secretary of State does not “distribute” voter records. They are available for purchase for political purposes only, under Iowa Code.”

I am so glad that someone figured this out and just not vote, many probably don't know still and won't vote...He must really think they are all really stupid.

Cruz lies with every breath so it would follow that his campaign staff would be involved in this deceptive and criminal mailing.
Republican voters are quite depraved but even these of these depraved individuals won't sink to the depravity of Ted Cruz. The state attorney general and the US DOJ needs to show up with some handcuffs and a paddy wagon and put the Cruz gang in jail.
