#PSA from the Romancing the Vote team: if you are only checking the total raised, please do not refresh the auction main page--it will break the server and that's not fun (it slows down or stops further bids).
Instead, you can check the Bidstream for the up to the second running total:
Also, in a few minutes, you'll the voluneers in there alongside the spreadsheet.
Holy. Fuck.
Crashed the site, auction currently at US$231,739 and change. If the site comes online in time, there will be extended bidding for some items up to 7:30 Central time.
So, for the fourth time in a row, Romancing the Vote crashed 32auctions too hard.
There will be emails in the morning.
Heads up!
Heads up, redux! What to do if you won/bought stuff in the auction.
ETA: if you want to round up (to the nearest dollar, the nearest five, the nearest ten, or to the next 69 (yes, it's a thing)), you need to click where it says, "customize amount".
If you are expecting an email from Romancing the Vote and are worried because you haven't gotten it yet, please check the instructions below:
ETA: type romancingrunoff in your email search, and that should bring up their emails. Remember: the auction site will NOT be the ones to email you.
