When I wrote this thread on Nov 9, AOC had only filed campaign data through Oct 14. I've been checking back every day to see when the rest of her data became available

Today's the day! πŸ˜ƒ

This thread might not be as EXCITING as the last one but I want to look at her final #'s
UPDATE: When I wrote that thread on 11/9, the AP & NYBoE cited NY-14 as "100% reporting"

And nothing changed until 12/4!

The updatedπŸ‘‡vote totals for NY-14

πŸ‘‰AOC: 71.6%, 152k
πŸ‘‰Cummings: 27.4%, 58k

(I can assume that's going to be used to discredit EVERYTHING I've ever said) ImageImage
The vote counts are a little higher but nothing else changed. It doesn't affect her finances.

AOC still got a smaller share of the vote than she did in 2018. But there WAS a higher voter turnout.

AOC Vote Share
2018: 78.2%
2020: 71.6%

AOC Vote Count
2018: 110,318
2020: 152,661 ImageImage

What do you hate most about the Justice Democrats?

What's your favorite fact about how sketchy they are?
Or Bernie.
Here's one of mine for Bernie:

I just learned that THIS πŸ‘‡ existed tonight

(Am I out of touch for a Millennial? No. It's the children who are wrong.)

I'm starting a thread of people incorrectly explaining to me what "dark money" means.

The correct answer is: it refers to spending by any organization that doesn't have to disclose its donors.

(Ex: 501(c)(4) nonprofits, 501(c)(5) unions, & some others, but NOT SuperPACs)

If you've never heard of the company 'Teletracking", you need to read this thread.

It's the company with America's Covid19 data and they're sharing it with Palantir.
I swear, every time I post this thread, Twitter's algorithm barely shows it to anyone.
This reply already has more views than the top tweet

I don't get it!

AOC Deep Dive part 2

All Members of Congress & congressional candidates file campaign finances w/the FEC. It's publicly available here: fec.gov/data/committee…

AOC's 2020 campaign finances were BONKERS for many reasons.

Now let me tell you about them in excruciating detail πŸ€“
AOC was the 2020 Dem incumbent in NY-14, which is HEAVILY Democratic. D+29.

She didn't face any real threat to her re-election.

Primaries:
βœ… AOC:74%
❌ Caruso-Cabrera: 18%

General:
βœ… AOC 68.7%
❌ Cummings 30.5%

This was the 2ND MOST EXPENSIVE House race. I'll get to that. ImageImageImage
Here is an overview of AOC's re-election campaign-

There's still a month left to report, but according to her campaign's FEC filings through October 14, 2020:

Contributions (money in):
πŸ‘‰πŸ’²$17,778,071πŸ’²πŸ‘ˆ

Expenditures (money out):
πŸ‘‰πŸ’²$14,082,509πŸ’²πŸ‘ˆ ImageImage
