There are a few days left in one of the most important election of our lifetimes. You've registered, you've helped register your friends, you've phone-banked, you've canvassed, you've listened to "The Final Countdown" an embarrassing number of times, and now you're wondering what else you can possibly do.
The answer is: more. And we have an idea!
Our smart friends at the data firm Civis crunched the numbers and found that donating to these 20 specific House candidates would give you the most bang for your buck. Here’s why:
1. They are expected to be extremely close races
2. They have less expensive media markets so each advertising dollar will go a lot further
3. You donations will actually help improve Democrats' chances of winning in these races by boosting voter turnout
In fact, according to the Head of Political Data Science at Civis, every dollar you donate toward this list of races would generate roughly 2.2 times as many votes than if you just donated to the 20 closest races across the country.
So pitch in and donate if you can, this is the highest impact your donation can have in the last few days. Thanks for doing your part!
