"We've done the first-tier job of getting [Data Warehouse] off the ground. My fond hope is that the DNC and other progressive groups with valuable data share that data," he said.

Bickford also said he doesn't see the two projects competing with each other. Two voter databases -- one associated with the Democratic Party, the other commercial -- may be fine.

"There are like-minded democratic organizations that will always be extremely happy to have organizations like [Catalist's] Data Warehouse, but would not be able to get information directly from the Democratic Party."

What all those involved with the Democrats get-out-the-vote effort agree on is that the Party has closed the technology gap that previously existed between their party and Republicans.

"The quality of the data has substantially improved. It was a huge step up. And with the overlay data, the state parties can do more, but it's not automated. What we want in the future is to automate that and be able to make intelligent decisions about who to contact," Davis said.
