he went across and looked through it, the voter lists. the three others not yet fired. we had him on earlier and i asked him some questions. thank you for taking a few minutes and joining us. so let me start with this. apparently from what we re told, and from the documents that nbc news has been able to obtain here, a lot of what went on is very traceable, very trackable, and what we were able to see from these documents is that people from your campaign, for over 40 minutes, were able to access, or were able to look at, search, and make copies of clinton supporter lists from her side of the wall. what s the justification for doing that? so i want to start, first of all, i was doing just to conflate things there. so i guess what i want to say is that we knew that what we were doing was trackable, and we were
that it was. we wanted to document and understand the scope of the problem. so that we could report it accurately. josh, i m trying to figure out, when you re saying document the extent of the problem, does that mean you wanted to go through everything that hillary clinton had, you wanted to see if she had anything you had? no. what i mean is that we could see that we could see there was a problem in the security and so we wanted to create a record on their system without taking any data for our own purposes. but if this was traceable and trackable, you were making copies of her voter lists, weren t you? i guess you could phrase it that way but we never the systems were always in the vote builder van system, the vote builder dnc system, it was all
their supporters are and who might be vulnerable to appeals from the other side. well, what happened was there was a data breach on wednesday and for about half an hour the clinton information was viz to believe the sanders people. and at least one sanders person up in burlington, vermont, did look at key information from the clinton campaign and most likely others, as well. which is acknowledged by the sanders people. the democratic national committee as punishment cut off the sanders campaign to their own voter lists, they own profiles and can t go out and survey and try to get theme to the polls or talk to their own people that have been reached and identified by their own volunteers so jeff weaver the manager for the sanders campaign has a news conference in the last hour and he said that debbie wasserman-schultz can

lines. how does this commission s report impact that and try to alleviate a lot of that? we look at the causes of lines. there are any number of them. there are a variety of factors. you can have difficulties with the management of the polling places, inaccurate voter lists, a whole host of issues all of which can produce the long lines. we have made recommendations at various points of attack and have concluded if the recommendations were implemented jurisdictions across the country could assure no american would wait longer than 30 minutes to vote and that bench mark that we approved unanimously is one we will be promoting throughout the country. in addition to the recommendations that we make in the report we also through our website have made available online tools that election administrators can use and work with and improve upon that help them allocate resources and plan
