    In Arizona and Michigan, two states where the GOP presidential candidate will likely have to win a majority of suburban voters to get back in the White House, the state Republican parties are running critically short on money. In Arizona, the state GOP has just $14,800 left in the bank at the end of August, as reported by the Arizona Mirror.

    $14,800 is an insanely low amount of money.

    You can’t win a contested small-time county election with $15k.

      In Minnesota the republican party had $8000 in cash on hand and is $76,000 in debt the last I read in the local news. And that has been the general situation for the past year. There has been talk of bankruptcy.

        Expect a shower of rubles to pour in and provide as much support as that anemic currency can afford.

        Kind of crazy the funding issues (I don’t want to call them problems because, honestly this is great news) are so widespread between states.

        Really weird situation I hope gets investigated more. I would read an entire book on this.
