@Everyone who used ActBlue last night.

I was stuck on the "Processing Transaction" page so long last night that I gave up and canceled. I thought it didn't go through and planned on trying again today.

I just checked my credit card account with the intention of going back to make the donation that I assumed had not gone through.

It looks like it went through three times, then ActBlue had to credit my account for 2 of them. It all worked out right, the donation is exactly what I wanted it to be, but I almost had a heart attack when I saw 5 transactions listed when I expected only 1 (it took me a second to realize 2 of them were credits).


To summarize, all is good but it does look like Bernie's 30 second fund raiser during his speech last night put a serious strain on the ActBlue server.

Also, anyone else who helped strain that server might want to double check your account.


Have a nice day.
