Ryan -

I briefed Kay on this when we talked.

In short, it is not true.  He has access to the voter file.

When he first asked for access to the voter file, the FDP said no because we do not provide access to this tool for candidates to run against Democratic incumbents.   Canova protested and we decided in this special case to reverse our policy and allow Tim access to the voter file.  This was a couple of months ago and only last about a week.

After receiving access, the Canova campaign then decided it did not want to use our voter file.

We never issued a statement but the fact he has had access has been acknowledged by Tim a number of times.

Debbie was never involved in any way, shape or form.

Scott

Scott,
Thanks for your help earlier today. This question came in about Canova and the voter file and the issue predates me.
Did FDP put out a statement on this? Alaska is asking about it.
Thanks,
Ryan

Walter, I have been asked about the chairwoman blocking Tim Canova from using the voter file. Is that true or is there a statement on that?
