The Markowitz campaign meets financial expectations. From a press release:
Today, Secretary of State Deb Markowitz announced that 1812 Vermonters from 177 cities and towns across the state have invested in her campaign to jumpstart Vermont’s economy. Markowitz raised nearly $524,000, which is twice the amount raised by her nearest Democratic opponent.
[…] More that 1440 voters gave less than $100, and the average donation of these sustaining donors was $64.50.
In addition, Susan Bartlett reported raising $70,919.73. This puts her at a fundraising level not too far off from Doug Racine, who’s to-date total included only about $100,000 raised during the same period (since last summer).
1812 Vermonters, no mention of any OUT of state numbers, gave524,000 bucks, with 1440 of those giving less than a hundred. So about 372 people gave about (max of) 1440 times 100 subtracted from 524000.?//??? Someone has a very deep pocket OR the representation or illusion stated above is intended to seriously mislead or misrepresent where the bulk of the money is coming from….. but then again I was not a math or statistics major… I do however become interested when both hands are not visible during the card shuffle…
