Apr 2019

In one year that person made 513 contributions totaling $2925 (must have done some in his and his wife's name), $5.70 per contribution, 10 contributions per WEEK (more than one per day)

Another made 689 contributions totaling $3945 (more than the allowable maximum), again $5.70 each, 13 per week - that's twice every day.

About 200 other contributors had similar patterns of contributions. THAT, my friends, is how one keeps the "average contribution" down to a low number!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I made my second before the deadline and may opt for reocurring CentralMass Apr 2019 #12

Not sure exactly what you meant but I think I get it. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #13

There are FEC fundraising deadlines (for the month ?) that must be met. CentralMass Apr 2019 #16

Somehow, that figure seems small given the money involved in campaigns. David__77 Apr 2019 #3

clever! floppyboo Apr 2019 #20

It's all in the math. Unfortunately the average voter doesn't pay attention... George II Apr 2019 #25

Exactly! Thanks, George II, for the explainer. Too many people don't understand that. pnwmom Apr 2019 #33

There were about a dozen letters sent to the campaign flagging almost 100,000 contributions... George II Apr 2019 #36

I wonder if the Bernie team learned from last time how to do it correctly. pnwmom Apr 2019 #38

If you want to see an "eye-popping" haul... brooklynite Apr 2019 #10

As the article states. Average contribution was $20 CentralMass Apr 2019 #15

I think Kamala Harris' avg. donation was about $100, which is pretty good. I expect Perrenial Voter Apr 2019 #29

+1,000,000 George II Apr 2019 #37

Although given his database this number is on the low end of public expectations. pnwmom Apr 2019 #17

You're correct. Considering his large email database, which he refused to share with the DNC.... George II Apr 2019 #39

Interesting. But not as interesting as seeing his full TAX RETURNS. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #19

+1000. nt pnwmom Apr 2019 #22

Lol. Nuthin to say about the impressive numbers? Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #24

If I was impressed, perhaps. But I'm not. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #30

Considering the campaign forecast $20 million, they're not as impressive as some would like..... George II Apr 2019 #40

On the bright side, sanders failure to meet his goal makes Harris' numbers look even better Gothmog Apr 2019 #44

Yes !!!!!!! pnwmom Apr 2019 #35

Bernie raised about $15 million in his first quarter last time around, pnwmom Apr 2019 #23

Math? BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #32

This and other indicators put Bernie and Kamala in the top 2 RandySF Apr 2019 #26

He certainly is a money magnet Politicub Apr 2019 #28

6 million in 24 hours BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #31

sanders had $10 million after first week Gothmog Apr 2019 #43
