As mattyglesias says, Remember the mid-terms?

This is the first round-up I've seen of how one of the slates did:

Just went through full #GrabYourBallot list. 42% of the candidates we backed won their races, most against incumbent Republicans! 3 races still too close to call. Most excited about Jacky Rosen, Antonio Delgado, & Katie Hill's victories! Full results here: https://medium.com/@shannoncoulter/the-grabyourballot-list-20cd22558ee1

What an amazing result!

The Donate Save America slate currently has 5 wins out of 20 and 3 still undecided (I was tallying out of interest here).

Obviously success rates will vary depending on whether slates were picking long shots, so high success rate doesn't necessarily mean a slate was "better" (you could get a higher "win" percentage by picking a slate of people who were likely to win anyway and didn't need the extra money, versus races where the money might make a real difference).

The Great Slate seems to have had a lot of losses, but pushed a lot of races incredibly close to the wire in what should have been "safe" Republican seats.

But it's interesting to look at!

I had to post her rock-climbing advert in disobey_gravity just because.
