How does Kushner's Project Alamo have info on 220 million Americans?

https://medium.com/startup-grind/how-the-trump-campaign-built-an-identity-database-and-used-facebook-ads-to-win-the-election-4ff7d24269ac

Under the guidance of Jared Kushner, a senior campaign advisor and son-in-law of President-Elect Trump, Parscale quietly began building his own list of Trump supporters. Trump’s revolutionary database, named Project Alamo, contains the identities of 220 million people in the United States, and approximately 4,000 to 5,000 individual data points about the online and offline life of each person. Funded entirely by the Trump campaign, this database is owned by Trump and continues to exist.

Trump’s Project Alamo database was also fed vast quantities of external data, including voter registration records, gun ownership records, credit card purchase histories, and internet account identities. The Trump campaign purchased this data from certified Facebook marketing partners Experian PLC, Datalogix, Epsilon, and Acxiom Corporation.

The databases that exist on Americans are huge.

Thanks to Kushner/Trump.


Notice how this was all put together after the RNC told trump he could have their database BUT they would get to keep a very, very large chunk of the money raised (per the article) from him using their database.

If you are willing to spend the money you can amass huge amounts of data on huge amounts of people.

Public records, every survey you have ever filled, when you do an internet search logged into your gmail account it's tracked, every personal detail you ever gave a company is data that can be sold later and had value.

It is possible that with enough time and money, one could get all county voter files...
