is everyone's job to feed back updates and corrections. Because without that, we die.

We've got some of the same issues here at the local level and the state level. I've got phone numbers that are more current than the Election Commission files and the State Democratic Party files. I ended up creating a separate field in the database for "my" phone numbers. It's the one the voter was last reached at. When we phone bank and a number is no longer correct then we try to track down the current phone number. When we find it, we update that field in the database.

Any time I make information abvailable I provide both phone numbers. The one from the Election Commission AND the one I have, if I have a different one.

Accurate data is gold. A database should be a gold mine, but if it's not accurate then it's "fool's gold".
