Could you send a source?

I'm seeing this [1]:

> Michael Briggs, a Sanders campaign spokesman, told ABC News that the “vendor who runs the DNC's voter file program continues to make serious errors” and that the “the firewall between the data of different Democratic campaigns” has failed “on more than one occasion.”

The spokesman was incorrect, the October incident was not from NGP VAN. From their press release:

"Josh Uretsky, the former National Data Director for the Sanders campaign confirmed on MSNBC (at 5:47), and also on CNN, regarding the previous incident: 'it wasn’t actually within the VAN VoteBuilder system, it was another system.'" [1][2]
