(13,214 posts)All campaigns collect voter data from various sources counties, states, other entities (like DNC). They use various models to analyze the source data to identify potential donors and solicit contributions.
I don't know for a fact, but it would be my guess that Bernie 2016 already shared source voter data collected.
An agreement to share source voter data collected is NOT the same as an agreement to share donor information. (Donor information is generally a subset of the larger source pool, but also includes people who donated without solicitation, plus email, and other information the donor provided. It is not customary to share donor data.)
The data licensing agreement referenced as "Bernie's agreement" is found in Exhibit A of the Complaint Bernie 2016 filed against the DNC (and later withdrew).
It clearly talks about "voter data collected." The agreement does not specify "donor data" explicitly. I does explicitly name "volunteer data" and "models" used. In absence of any specification of "donor data," this does not appear to be an agreement to share "donor data."
The fact that "donor v. volunteer v. voter data" are separate things is clear from the agreement with the Iowa State Party (Exbibit A-2 of above referenced complaint.)
