Democrats Have 5-to-1 Ground Game Advantage
“Democrats entered the fall campaign with an army of paid staffers close to five times the size of Republicans’,” according to an NBC News analysis of Federal Election Commission filings.
“At the end of August, the most recent date for which data is available, Democrats employed at least 4,200 people working to elect Hillary Clinton, with about 800 at the Clinton campaign, 400 at the Democratic National Committee, and nearly 3,000 on the payrolls of state parties in 13 battleground states, which typically employ a majority of field organizers.”
“Republicans, meanwhile, employed about 880 people during the same period, with about 130 at the Donald Trump campaign, another 270 at the Republican National Committee, and roughly 480 at the 13 state parties.”
