Today was another campaign filing deadline. This report included all contributions received from the last report until 5:00 p.m. on the third day prior to the filing deadline (which would be Sunday the 12th). It was midday on Friday the 11th that the recount was complete, and the call went out to release $36,000 of pledges promised through this site and the Facebook group 1000 Vermonters for Change (okay, so it didn’t get to 1000…).

Although there were several pledgers who indicated to me they had already donated prior to the completion of the recount, this announcement from the Shumlin campaign seems a little unlikely to be coincidence.

“While raising money during the recount was challenging, since Peter accepted the Democratic nomination, the campaign has seen an outpouring of financial support,” said Alex MacLean, campaign manager.  “We are incredibly encouraged by the fact that the final two days of the filing period, the campaign received over $34,000.”

Go team!
