    I get an email or text message about some arbitrary deadline and I'm left wondering "what deadline?" since I never actually read them completely.

      Ah, see I was super into politics as a lib, so I know exactly what it is. (Fair warning: this only makes it more irritating.)

      Basically, campaigns are required to submit fundraising data to the FEC every quarter, and presidential campaigns with fundraising over a certain amount have to file monthly reports. There's no actual deadline from the donor's perspective; it's just about pumping up the numbers in advance of the filing deadline so the campaign looks stronger.
