DCCC reports fundraising surge after Supreme Court's VRA ruling

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said it saw its best fundraising period of the year last week, bringing in over half a million dollars after the Supreme Court limited the scope of the Voting Rights Act.

House Democrats’ campaign arm raised about $522,000 in the roughly 48 hours between the court issuing the ruling Wednesday and Friday morning at 10 a.m., the group told CQ Roll Call.

“Republicans – with the help of this conservative Supreme Court – are attempting to rig the midterms so that they can stay in power,” DCCC spokesperson Courtney Rice said in a statement. “But just like their backfiring redistricting scheme, this will also fail.”

According to the DCCC, 10 percent of the nearly 23,000 contributions following the ruling came from people who had not previously given to the committee. The average donation was $22.75.

I've read here that the DCCC helped with winning the State elections across the Country, too.

I guess an opportunity to sow division and admonish your Democrstic Party compatriots instead of celebrating a brief moment of unity is in order? Whoever these “people” are, I’m glad they are donating even if they have some disagreements with the DCCC, unless we want the “purity tests” so often spoken of to apply to Democratic Party donors also?
