Nearly $7 billion went to federal election candidates during the 2020 campaign cycle from millions of donors. The increasingly popular ActBlue and WinRed fundraising platforms have made small-dollar donation data public, allowing us to understand much better than in previous cycles not only where money is going, but also who it is coming from.<p>More of that money than ever is coming in the form of small-dollar donations and many of those donors are contributing to multiple campaigns. By looking at where donors&#x27; money has overlapped, we can better understand overlaps in support between candidates who will never share a ballot and may never share voting records in congress.
