Question about Act Blue donations

[DiehardLiberal]

I gave $22.21 after the NH primary to Bernie to mirror the spread (at that time I wasn't sure what he final spread would be).

In any case, I received a breakdown from Act Blue about my contribution and it shows as follows:
Blue America PAC $11.10
Bernie Sanders $11.11
and my tip

I meant for it all to go to Bernie. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks!

1. Yes ... Some of the pre-filled payment field show such a split

If they exist, and some simply say in a blurb somewhere on the page 'donation divided 50% between Bernie and DFA (I just got one of those), or MoveOn, or actBlue ...

If you go and donate at Bernie's website, it all goes to him (except for any agreement he sets with the DNC, which may share in those donations under certain circumstances ...

3. I'm not sure which site I ended up at as you know Act Blue was deluged so I may not have been at my

usual site. I shall certainly take the time to be more careful in future!

Thanks for response!

2. You didn't say WHERE you made the contribution...

But it's possible the link you clicked on was for a joint funding arrangement.

Congratuations: you contributed to a SuperPAC

4. We have a link here that goes directly to Bernie, thanks to Omaha Steve.

It's up to almost 50,000, all donated by individual DUers for Bernie. Here's the link.

It's pinned at the top of the Bernie Group.
