That's interesting, thanks for the response. I've been getting the email updates and it's hard to get the big picture from those.

So the biggest goal of this process is learning how to move elections?

I shouldn't be concerned that the media isn't mentioning MayDay as a factor in the elections or control of congress?

More specifically, the experiment is about how to sway voters on the issue of money in politics. I particularly like this page for the big picture: https://mayday.us/the-plan/

Looking back, thinking about where we've come from against this plan from May 1st I'm pretty amazed. But of course, there is a lot more work ahead.

A lot of the media narrative around the election is "which party controls the senate" and so they would not necessarily cover non-partisan Mayday.

But we have gotten a LOT of media coverage.
