Democrats to launch new voter database with Dean at the helm

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez is declaring a major victory ahead of the 2020 presidential election, with the help of one of his most well-known predecessors.

Howard Dean, the one-time presidential candidate, former Vermont governor and ex-DNC chairman, is set to head a new data exchange operation that Democrats hope puts them back on par with Republicans in the never-ending race to use voter data to drive Americans to the polls. …

The arrangement would allow the national party, state parties and independent political action groups on the left to share voter data in real time during campaigns. CONT.
