In reply to the discussion: Former Sanders campaign chairman: Don't expect email list to be shared with DNC [View all]karynnj
(59,508 posts)The DNC data base contains the list of voters, updated with information of how they stand on a given election. In the primaries, this usually contained info on whether they intended to vote and in the primary (and was it the Democratic primary) and if so who they favored. Every campaign I called or canvased for had a pretty similar scale where you indicated how strong that preference was. In the general election, it was the information was similar. That information was helpful for GOTV, but it had long term value as well.
( I don't know how well it was used because - at least in Morris County NJ, the number of inaccurate records where people had moved, changed phone numbers etc was pretty high. I wonder if they really did use our info on that to clean the files after the election.)
