"Ken Mehlman's Voter Vault"
Monday, June 12, 2006
With the 2006 election season in full gear - and the 2008 presidential race simmering - the media have been painting Congressional incumbents as vulnerable. ...
But Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman has faced such challenges before and is
quietly assuring party insiders that superior organization and the Republicans' stealthy "voter vault" will carry the day. ...
That disclosure provoked expressions of disbelief within the RNC. The highly sophisticated Republican data bank, "Voter Vault," not only is tailored to each county - so that it can be used to get out the vote and target likely Republican voters within Democratic precincts - it can be downloaded into a PDA, allowing precinct workers to add information picked up in door-to-door visits.
Mehlman's role in developing Voter Vault and just what it can do for Republicans this November and in 2008 will be spelled out in an upcoming issue of NewsMax Magazine. ... For the coming elections, Mehlman has infused Voter Vault with newer, more powerful technology, which should help with vote-getting strategies that are still under wraps. ...
"What Mehlman is doing, both technologically and in terms of building the party, is revolutionary," said Brad Blakeman, a former assistant to the president and director of scheduling who also attends the Ginsberg seders. "But you'll never see that in the media because he is modest to a fault. He loves to be underestimated."
