Did you vote for Biden?
I live in a Deep Red State, so any Democrat vote is a throw away.
I usually try to vote for a Third Party.
Libertarian, Green, Independent.
If they get a high enough vote count, they get some Government money next time around.
"Minor party candidates and new party candidates may qualify for partial general election funding, based on their party's electoral performance. Minor party candidates (nominees of parties whose Presidential candidates received between 5 and 25 percent of the vote in the preceding election) may receive public funds based on the ratio of their party's vote in the preceding Presidential election to the average of the two major party candidates in that election. New party candidates (nominees of parties that are neither major parties nor minor parties) may receive public funds after the election if they receive 5 percent or more of the vote. The amount is based on the ratio of the new party candidate's vote to the average vote of the two major party candidates in that election.4"
