If I’m reading this correctly, nearly 0.5% of ALL ActBlue donations nationally since #RBG’s passing have gone through the fundraising pages I have set up. I’m honored to play a part in saving our democracy.

(It says $72M as of 6pm; I was at around $330K at that time).

Yup...via NY Times, it was $80M by 7:30pm. I had raised $350K in that period.



Fascinating how consistent this has been:
AB total, 7:30pm Fri - Midnight Sat: $91M
Made thru my AB pages, 7:30pm Fri - Midnight Sat: $400K

As far as I can tell, donations made thru my AB pages have *consistently* made up between 4.3 - 4.8% of *all* AB donations since RBG's passing.

Assuming that ratio has been representative all along/remains so, it's a handy way of tracking how much ALL Dems have raised online.

Assuming this ratio holds steady for the rest of the election cycle, if you want to know how much money *all* Dems have raised via ActBlue each day, just multiply how much I've raised in that time period by around ~225x or so. Huh.

This was posted at 10:27 this morning. As of that time I had raised $462,000 since 7:30pm Friday evening. That's 0.46% (1/216th).

After the dust settles I think I'll see if I can get AB's prior ticker totals from each month to see if the correlation has stayed the same all year... #Nerd

Also worth noting (if unsurprising):

--75% of all donations made through my AB pages were to #FlipTheSenate ip until news broke of #RBG's passing,

--92% of all donations made through my AB pages *since* #RBG's passing have been to #FlipTheSenate.

When I started this just after the midterms, I figured the split would be something like 50% Senate, 25% House, 20% State Legislatures, 5% Executives.

Instead it's currently 78% Senate, 10% House, 10% State Legislatures, 2% Executives.
