ATLANTA (AP) – Donald Trump says he plans to win the White House largely on the strength of his personality, not by leaning heavily on complex voter data operations that have become a behind-the-scenes staple in modern presidential campaigns.

Rick Wiley told AP the Trump campaign will indeed tap the Republican Party's massive cache of voter information.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will not hear Exxon Mobil's appeal of a $236 million judgment for its use of a gasoline additive that contaminated groundwater in New Hampshire.
