“So a group of liberal activists in Maine created an unusual crowdfunding campaign that encapsulated both of these emotions: they raised money in the form of pledges that they said they would give to whoever decided to challenge Collins in 2020 if she voted for Kavanaugh’s confirmation. If she votes no, the money will never be withdrawn from donors.
‘Senator Collins votes NO on Kavanaugh and you will not be charged, and no money will go to fund her future opponent,’ the platform notes. ‘Senator Collins votes YES on Kavanaugh and your pledge will go to her opponent's campaign, once that opponent has been identified.’
The unusual fundraising effort by Maine People's Alliance, Mainers for Accountable Leadership and activist Ady Barkan on the platform Crowdpac had raised more than $1 million from 37,000 pledges as of Tuesday— a not insignificant amount for a political race in the small state. But amidst the attention it was receiving were signs that its efforts could be backfiring.”
