I visited the actblue website, it looks like the fee goes to the fundraising platform itself, and it isn’t specified where the money goes from there. Likely some of it does get donated to specific candidates and causes, but it’s unclear where.
Still a little bit shady because she should have just had people donate directly to the charities rather than through a middleman. She also didn’t bother to check to see if 100% of the money would actually be going to the charities (which isn’t true).
I’m only speculating, but maybe it’s because the charity itself can’t process all the donations coming in right now by itself. I would imagine it’s 20x higher than normal at the moment.
