So. The election’s tomorrow. You’re going to vote, if you haven’t already; and you’ve helped out in your local state/district/county. But you’ve maybe got a spare $20 or a couple of hours… and, honestly, nobody in your regular slate of candidates needs it. Yes, of course, every little bit helps – but, honestly, they’re all fine. Really. You’d think that you can maybe splurge a little and give somebody a political treat.
OK, here’s what you do then. A while back, the NRCC put up a map of every Republican running for Congress, broken down by first state, and then Congressional district. It has been an amazingly useful resource for me, by the way: to give just one example, having it handy allowed me to quickly track down challengers in suddenly-competitive districts (and there have been a lot of those this cycle). The NRCC absolutely needs to keep this feature in future election cycles, by the way… but I digress. Anyway, click on the map more or less at random, look for a blue-colored district in whatever state that you end up in, and click through to the challenger’s website*. If you like what you see, dispense largess as you see fit. Trust me, they’ll be glad to get the money and/or time.
And you never know. We’re going to have a lot of close elections. Maybe it’ll be your help that makes the difference.

*With 430 out of 435 races featuring a Republican in the contest, you have a 98.85% chance of getting a hit.
I appreciate all the informative posts. My wife’s uncle, John Boozman, looks poised to win and help turn Arkansas in the “red” direction. Do you know of a site that lists all national races in a text format without having to click on a map for every race? Thanks!
Also, make sure and check things on Wednesday – there are probably going to be a ton of races that we won, but not outside of the margin of fraud, so I expect that there will be a few people who are going to need some legal challenges funded.
