On Tuesday evening, the Pete for America Innovation Team sent out an email to supporters launching a "contest" in which the person donating the smallest unique amount would win a prize.
"All you have to do to win is donate the smallest amount that nobody else donates," the email read. "In other words, suppose you donate $1.00. If someone else playing also donated exactly $1, you both lose. We'll see if only one player donated $1.01 and so on until we find an amount donated exactly once, and that's our winner."
The email added that "multiple donations are allowed" and that "hopefully, this is a fun way to contribute" to the campaign.
Tim Tagaris, a campaign adviser for Sanders I-Vt., mocked Buttigieg's efforts.
"The Pete for America Innovation Team out there working hard on Christmas Eve coming up with gimmicks to lower his average donation amount this quarter. Funny stuff," Tagaris tweeted. "This is so transparently hilarious. Wow, his average donation was lower this quarter... it’s a Christmas miracle!"

I would hope the FEC would require totals from each donor.
A great way to bankrupt the idiot’s campaign is with $1 donations that cost $15-20 to process. Even at $5 they lose money.
It is a way to add names to the donor rolls who will never hit the maximum permissible donation. Then, when the foreign money comes in, you move that money in under those small donors. It is the first step in a money laundering scheme and the FEC will never look at it because only Dems do it.
Which Democrat candidate has produced the least value during their lifetime? Why is there an inverse relationship in general between wealth creation and Dem candidate popularity?
You know I have something unique and pretty valueless to donate to mayor buttjiggers campaign, a piece of old masticated chewing gum, or the gift my dog leaves on the lawn. I wonder if those would win the morons contest.
