    A receiver of political contributions isn't required to keep records of the givers' employer unless that giver has aggregate political contributions for the year are over $200. https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/keeping-records/recording-receipts/

    The average contribution to ActBlue in 2019 was $30.50. https://blog.actblue.com/2020/01/09/2019-in-review-a-1-billion-year/

    So the "analysis" is a bunch of BS. I've given small contributions to various candidates through ActBlue and never recall being asked for employer information. So when they are claiming the givers were "unemployed" what it really means is that an employer isn't listed because there is no obligation for ActBlue to do so for the majority of their contributors.

    per actblue website...

    Why does ActBlue require my personal information for me to donate?

    Any contribution made through ActBlue needs to be reported to the appropriate regulatory body, just like any other contribution. This means that we are required by law to collect your personal information so that campaigns and organizations can properly report your contributions. Most contributions require your name, address, occupation, and employer, but the laws in some states require your employer’s address as well. ActBlue is also required by federal law to report and itemize (that means list the donor name and information for) every single federal donation that comes through our platform to the Federal Election Commission, including donations under $200.

    We also pass along your email address, as well as your phone number if you choose to provide it, to the group you gave to and no one else. Providing a phone number when donating is always optional. This contact information is vital for groups running grassroots fundraising programs and is also how we’re able to send you an email receipt for your contribution. We never sell your personal information or share it with anyone beyond the group you gave to.

    ActBlue should add:

    And we can't guarantee that donors won't be criticized or scorned by crybaby Republicans.

    The huge difference between "mail in voting" and absentee ballot voting is this:

    You have to ask for an absentee ballot but when you do mail in voting,
    all ballots are sent out to everyone, including dead people.

    Democrat *activists* will have a field day.

    Why are you posting this incorrect information? As usual when caught in a lie you just ignore.

    Haha trump getting out financed much you’d better phone the Kremlin and tell them that the whitehouse don’t come cheap.
    And what about the NRA? have they developed short arms and deep pockets? Or maybe they don’t believe the right wing BS about Biden taking your guns away and have decided that they don’t have a horse in this race.

    No and there is zero evidence that they are.
