Year 2000 Bug (Y2K) Strikes In Pennsylvania

Paul McNamara reports that a Y2K bug resulted in draft notices being sent to 14,000 men born in the 1800's. A comment on this post cynically suggests that this is not accidentally retained data:

These 14,000 are probably receiving SNAP benefits, Social Security checks every month, a tax refund every year, and each one has an Obamaphone. Moreover, they all have voted in local, state, and federal elections over the past century.
