One of the reasons I recommend Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right by Jane Mayer is because it's filled with stuff like this. You know those lame worksheets we'd get in school as kids for holidays and shit that were oddly patriotic? Word finds, fill in the blanks, that kind of crap? Many of those were funded by the Koch Brothers. You would not believe all the crap they are spending money on.
Both list one single contribution to their campaign; both contributions are $2000 self-loans, presumably to pay the filing fee.
LMAO why aren't we doing this? This is brilliant.
It really is. We should do some crowdfunding to put people with similar names on state legislator and down-ballot races in 22.
At least in my state of Texas, the candidates are ordered by the vote the party received in the prior election.
So - typically - R first, D second, L third, G fourth, random indies afterwards.
If you ran Alphonso Gored and Georgia Busch as ballot candidates, they'd be so far down the ballot that nobody would notice.
