      I'm confused at the US political system's focus on fundraising. There's lots of "raise $$$ for this candidate", but I don't understand what then happens to that money. Do they just give it all to Facebook?

      Worth looking at @pinboard's explanations of where the State Slate money gets spent.

      Typical things a campaign spends money on: access to voter lists (VAN for democrats), mailers (10-60k), printing cards, stickers, and lawn signs, staff salary and office space, radio ads, Facebook ads, and TV ads if you're big enough.

      The problem the money is trying to solve is that there are ~50,000 voters in a state race, and ~300,000 in a Congressional race, and you're trying to find a way to reach them, explain who you are, and if you're lucky have them remember 1-2 issues you're running on

      Wait, that's are 50k-300k voters who are undecided about voting, not 50k-300k total voters *overall*, right? Or is voter turnout waaaay lower than I had previously thought? (Also thank you for explaining this!)

      No, that's overall. A congressional district has 710K or so people in it and something like half of them will vote (in a presidential year).

          Ohhhhh! I read "state race" and thought "that's a term I don't know!", so I immediately assumed that it was statewide, and that not many people actually vote. Thank you for clarifying!

          Oh, my bad. There are two kinds of 'state races', some are statewide (like state auditor or attorney general) and some are for state house/senate districts. They can vary from a few thousand people to millions. But I have state house races on my mind.
