Calling all infrastructure geeks
Last week there was a lively discussion about the Secretary of State Project over at the Swing State Project (thanks DavidNYC!).
One thing we've learned about SoS Project since we founded it in 2006, is that some people really get the concept right away and love it. For others, it just washes over them like any other collection of down ballot races.
Who gets the Secretary of State Project? Lots of different types of people. But today I'm thinking about the people like the folks who write and read the Swing State Project. These are the infrastructure geeks. The people looking for the leverage play. They aren't just motivated by an amazing politician. They are people who want to change the system and put good people in office for the next 20 years, not just the next cycle.
A few interesting things in the thread at Swing State Project. First, great analysis on the current West Virginia race was posted by a commenter. And a reader chimed in with an update on the Secretary of State Project's impact on the 2006 Minnesota race where we helped elect Mark Ritchie. Finally, a commenter picked up on the fact that even though the Montana race is the most important contest this cycle, Linda McCulloch has the lowest contribution total in our ActBlue slate.
Are you an infrastructure geek? Take a look at our slate and consider making a donation -- starting with Linda McCulloch in Montana. Then tell all your friends who share your approach to progressive politics. Send them our way -- and to our
likeminded friends at the Swing State Project.
