From Jonathan Bernstein:
Remarkable stories about Democrats raising money just keep coming in. Two more from Wednesday are worth noting, because they mark what looks like an important change in the nature of political activism.
In North Dakota, a Republican-backed plan threatened to discourage Native Americans from voting by requiring identification with a street address. Many reservations don’t use formal street addresses, so tribal identification cards often don’t include one. A local group was rushing to get new cards or other documents to everyone affected, and on Wednesday the liberal site Daily Kos got involved and raised $100,000 to cover the costs.
Then there’s a group called Data for Progress, which targeted a handful of state legislative seats that they calculated had the most potential to turn Republican-majority chambers into Democratic ones.
