12. The Democratic party has a huge database of voters

They started with public records of voters so if you ever gave a phone number to the elections people in your county, that would be in there. Over the years they have added information from volunteers and cross referenced public information such as phone books and city directories.

The first thing every election cycle that is done is to call the Democratic database to verify phone numbers and remove wrong numbers, disconnected numbers and deceased voters. As that is done, they look for volunteers to make calls and that phase continues all the way through the campaign.

I am not sure if the Republicans have as complete a database. I do know that at least once I was put on a Republican contact list because I called my Tea Party US Representative to complain about one of his votes. I only managed to get off by warning them that every single time they called, emailed or sent me a letter I would donate more money to his Democratic rival. The Republican contacts stopped and his opponent won her election.
