National Journal: “Beginning this week… Data Trust–a privately operated entity backed by the Republican National Committee that maintains a master list of voter information nationwide–is rolling out a marquee technical upgrade that will allow Republican campaigns and their allies to share voter information with one another in real time. The new feature will let campaigns and approved outside groups not only access voter information anytime (with their own data software) but update it instantly, so others viewing the voter lists can see the information immediately.”
