In reply to the discussion: Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Opponent, Tim Canova, Is Denied Access to Democrats' Voter File [View all]csziggy
(34,136 posts)52. The party voter database has a ton of valuable information about voters
That is not included in the publicly available voter info. The Democratic database has been building information on voters since prior to 2008 and has become an important tool for candidates to focus their efforts.
Every Democratic candidate should have access to that information. If the party does not want to share it with every candidate prior to the primaries, then NO candidate should have access before then. After the primaries, the official nominees should have access.
But the implication in this story is that one candidate has access while another does not during the primaries - that is what is unfair.
