As Campaigns Heat Up, ElectionMall.com Keeps Candidates Playing Fair ElectionMall.com provides smart online fundraising software designed to comply with campaign laws and regulations. With 750,000 elections occurring within 2008 including a presidential race, candidates must take measures to remain compliant. Campaigns of any size can now raise money without spending thousands of dollars. Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 27, 2007 -- A question floating around Washington these days is could the Democrats win the 2008 presidential race based on online fundraising alone? According to figures reported by NPR on July 15, the top three Democrats, Obama, Clinton and Edwards, doubled what the top three Republican presidential candidates, Romney, Guilliani and McCain raised in online donations. "Money itself does not necessarily win elections, but how you obtained that money could make you lose," says campaign guru Ravi Singh. As a pioneer in campaign and election online fundraising technology since 2000, Ravi Singh, CEO of ElectionMall.com knows what he is talking about. His company has designed smart online fundraising software that easily integrates into campaign websites for any sized campaign. With this easy to use technology, campaigns as small as school board, municipal, local, and state elections can raise money like the big boys, without spending thousands of dollars. FundraisingByNet.com offers the software while DonationPages.com provides voter access and interactivity.
While at Northwestern University in the mid 1990s, it became clear to Singh that technology could be developed to raise online campaign contributions. Dean Harold Krent of Chicago-Kent College of Law agreed and assisted Singh in designing a database system that addressed campaign compliance, eligibility and disclosures while following all federal, state, county and municipal regulations and fundraising laws. Apparently, eligibility requirements can change according to office even within the same state. To keep all the contribution limits in line with corporate and individual giving while tracking oversees donations can be a barrier to an online campaign of any size. With cleared patents, ElectionMall.com has created software logic and an impressive database that could be considered the Dr. Spock of all things legal and ethical when it comes to keeping candidates out of jail. With such headlines as Obama raising $31 million, Singh predicts that there will be much more scrutiny when it comes to evaluating campaign practices, especially with so much at stake.
Considered by many as the turnkey solution to increasing awareness and online donations, ElectionMall's online fundraising offerings have leveled the playing field giving all types of campaigns affordable tools to fuel their message while following the law. A few of the features include registering voters, sending eyardsigns, creating events and invitations, and automating monthly contributions. The system also safeguards your fundraising by blocking international or out-of-state contributions to keep you compliant and within contribution limits. The system tracks and archives how and from where money was raised. Backed by seven years of design and testing, DonationPages and FundraisingByNet are like having a current passport to navigate through the 2008 presidential race.
