Top 10 U.S. zip codes by number of donors to Canadian trucker convoy fundraising

Top 10 U.S. zip codes by number of donors to Canadian trucker convoy fundraising

An analysis of leaked data from two GiveSendGo online fundraising efforts shows that donations from zip codes in the United States tended to come from areas that were high-income and with more registered Republicans.

ZIP CODE CITY DONATIONS TOTAL MOST PARTY REGISTRATIONS
78641 Leander, Tex. 38 $1,859 Republican
90210 Beverly Hills, Calif. 36 $2,609 Democratic
83616 Eagle, Idaho 33 $2,731 Republican
30062 Marietta, Ga. 33 $2,559 Republican
30075 Roswell, Ga. 29 $3,159 Republican
32034 Fernandina Beach, Fla. 29 $2,413 Republican
80134 Parker, Colo. 29 $2,123 Nonpartisan
32043 Green Cove Springs, Fla. 29 $1,847 Republican
77429 Cypress, Tex. 29 $1,510 Republican
30004 Alpharetta, Ga. 28 $2,330 Nonpartisan

“I am not surprised at the slightest in regard to this information being leaked,” Elena Danielson, a Beverly Hills real estate agent, wrote in an email to The Post when asked about leaked data showing a $100 donation associated with her name and an email address related to her company.

In a series of emails, Danielson, 57, said she grew up in the Soviet Union, emigrated to Canada in the 1990s and then moved to the United States, where she is married and has grandchildren. Danielson, a Canadian American, said she was vaccinated when it became a condition for international travel but now is ashamed of what she sees as draconian mandates in her adopted nation to the north.

“I support the vaccine. I am glad that everyone who needed or wanted it is vaccinated. But now we all know that the vaccination status does not prevent from getting it again or spreading covid. My husband just had it for the second time after getting a booster,” Danielson said, adding: “If [Canadian Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau was a true leader, he would admit to being wrong and lift the useless mandates.”

So, a one-in-a-million breakthrough case means discard the entire idea. Yeah, OK. She's probably lying/embellishing anyway. I guess one person with the admirable scientific credentials of "Beverly Hills real estate agent" should be the one to go to for advice on this matter and even directing public health policy for the country!!11!!

Oh, I can see them supporting Trump.
I can't see them supporting truckers.

But I guess facts are facts.

she'd be up there protesting and not sending money. Put your skin in the game Elena. She's probably worried, and justifiably so, that showing up and being identified with a bunch of ass hats would be bad for her business.

Parker, CO (southeast of Denver) and I thought Marietta, GA had started to get a bit past its Newt Gingrich days. Alpharetta and Roswell, GA is all $$$ so I suppose not surprised...

Yep, Margie the Kook's company. (Granted, she carpetbagged herself to Rome -- a different district altogether -- but the kookettes up here generally don't have enough money to make the top ten list.)
