Getcha last donations in

As things come down to the wire --

H/t to [personal profile] jjhunter for the heads-up -- two more GiveSmart slates (trying to flip state legislatures):

GiveSmart NY
GiveSmart 6: Run for Something and Future Now

The various GiveSmart slates have collectively raised $750,000 and they're hoping to hit $1 million before this is done.

The Great Slate (Congressional candidates) has some matching funding going on at the moment (or did 11 hours ago, anyway).

Donate Save America (targeted for maximum efficiency!) is also shooting for $1 million.

GrabYourBallot (tight House and Senate races and governorships) is at over $200,000.

If you have particular favorite candidates or slates you'd like to promote, I suggest linking in comments!

The campaign to get support pulled from Steve King is working!!!

Intel and now Land O'Lakes have pulled funding from him after pressure (because he's an overt white nationalist who hangs out with and endorses Nazis):

Bloomberg: Land O’Lakes Pulls Support for Iowa Congressman Steve King Over Racial Remarks

[twitter.com profile] JuddLegum is keeping track and linking to companies that are still funding him: https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1057299815443390469

ETA: Aaaaand Purina's out.

Meanwhile, a recent poll has King's opponent J. D. Scholten within a point of him, FiveThirtyEight have significantly changed their odds, and the Cook Report has switched IA-4 from "likely Republican" to "lean Republican".
