When ActBlue, the Democratic online fund-raising organization, tried to upload its most recent report to the Federal Election Commission, there were so many contribution records — 955,475 — that the agency’s servers buckled under the load. It took four days and repeated attempts to file the report.
That its monthly filing could tie up the F.E.C.’s servers — a feat previously accomplished only by President Obama’s 2012 campaign — says a lot about the growth of ActBlue. Begun as an experiment by two friends wanting to finance progressive causes, it has become a major fund-raising mechanism for the Democratic Party.
