Many thanks for the vote maximizer! Do you know of any evidence that the parties (in particular the Democratic Party) is not internally using something like your vote maximizer, perhaps supplemented by additional information on existing funds and PAC activity? Wasn't the McGrath example you cite driven by individual donations, not the parties? In other words, would a better "moneyball" move by a small donor simply be to donate to the party? I can imagine the answer may be that party decisionmaking is distorted by internal politics, but again I wonder whether there is any evidence.
In WA 8th Congressional, click Get Involved: Democratic or Republican, I get a 404 error Not Found. Thx.
Known data error: New Hampshire legislative district estimates are off. Caught by Rep. Eric Gallager. Will be fixed by Monday I hope! -Sam
