AZ RNC Treasurer defends GOP Director's Use of Voter Database to Stalk Women

[Ian David]

The executive director of the Arizona GOP used a Republican voter database to stalk a female grad student, the woman has alleged in a criminal complaint.

The complaint, filed last month with the local sheriff's office and reported by the Huffington Post, alleges that Brett Mecum "is using Voter Vault to stalk." That's the sophisticated voter-targeting program that the GOP uses to turn its supporters out to the polls.

And RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen, who is also the chair of the state party, seemed to dismiss the issue in a statement:

He used Voter Vault. The Republican National Committee owns Voter Vault....It's a private list. We own the list. We can do what we want with the list, quite frankly.
