I need your help.

Through DU, I donated $100 - $50 (I thought) for both Ossoff and Warnock. My receipt indicates that I also apparently gave money to Fair Fight, which now turned into $33 for each candidate and $33 for Fair Fight.

Can someone please explain this to me. I could be just plain stupid (a possibility), or unbeknownst to me, an equal portion went to Fair Fight, whomever they may be.

Help me understand.

She will be the reason these two gentlemen win, so it's very worthy IMHO.

I don’t recall that there was a place to designate that option?

I don’t dispute that Stacy is doing a stellar job, but I was under the impression that I was donating to the two candidates.

My understanding is that much of the money to Fair Fight is going to the GOTV effort for Ossoff and Warnock, so I was totally fine with the split.

I also recently separately gave to Fair Fight.

I think you can reach out to DUer Omaha Steve, who has done a BRILLIANT job of coordinating the DU fundraising for these two elections and others if you have questions etc.
