within their custodianship, if that makes sense. we didn t, at least to my knowledge, we did not export any records of voter file data that were based on those so yes, we did establish proofs that there was a problem so that, a, we understood what that problem was and b, we could accurately report that up the chain. that did take us some time to figure out. but the problem besides the firewall being down, what are you able to establish by going into her voter i think that s the confusing part to people here. if you went into her voter files, if you searched them, if you copied information from them, it basically sounds like you are telling me you are committing, crime is a strong word here but you are committing the misdeed to prove it s possible to commit the misdeed. well, no, because we didn t actually like use it for anything valuable. we didn t take custodianship of
where there was some dirty campaigns trying to steal the others information, especially when it came to this type of access issue? not on this type of access issue. to go back in time in the last time there was a big blowup about the dnc and potentially siding for one candidate over the other, i have to go back to the 2008 presidential campaign between barack obama and hillary clinton over what was going to be done about the delegates with michigan and florida. i know those of us who followed that, that was a huge story back then, and that was the last time that really, you had activists from both sides really up in arms over rules, that time howard dean was chairman of the democratic national committee. thomas, it s important to note that after this story came out about a potential bernie sanders campaign accessing clinton information from these voter files, we ended up hearing from the dnc, it was temporarily suspending bernie sanders from the overall voting file. of course, that
presidential campaign all the way through but its clientele consists of progressive and democratic clients. now you have a non-democrat coming in with full access. these are their own files, again, it s not access to all the democratic voter files, but this company essentially holds everything. if you want to do a phone bank, if you want to do door knocking in iowa, all that data is being held by this data security company. so what you are hearing now from sanders supporters and from the sanders campaign is that the dnc which is partial to hillary clinton is now not letting them access their own data, information they gathered with their own money and their own resources. this is a civil war, i guess you could call it, on the democratic side of the aisle that s breaking out into the open. we have not heard anything yet from the clinton campaign or o malley campaign, for that matter, about this. we expect to hear something probably pretty soon. everybody is being tlhrown unde the bus,
individual small donors. 77% of his donations are $250 or less. i think only 17% of her donors contributed $250 those small amounts. actually about 94% of her donations were $250 or less. look i think bernie s got to run his race. he knows what he s got to do in theory. he s got his plan to win. we ve got our plan to win. part of what we did in this campaign early on we decided to make some investments in things like voter files, list building and organizing so that we would have a strong infrastructure on the ground. part of that that s our strategy. that s what we re doing. bernie has got to run his strategy. let s talk about the bernie sandsers er
on the political side, the vast majority of data we are using this from publicly available voter files and we are building better inferences through statistics. like what pollsters have done, but with better technology, etc. when we partner with an organization like this, we are making sure we use a third party with a privacy-protected source so that information is protected on both sides. dan wagner, congratulations on your new firm that you are trying to put together. it s scary what s coming. i know you will have a personalized tv ad. you guys are making more actual tv ads than ever before. we are working at it. if it s going to work, it has to have content that is relevant and that means more for us to make. thanks for sharing a little bit of that technology and playing with your map on the
