Takeaway: midterm demand is overwhelmingly an Election-Day phenomenon — reports ramp only in the final ~4 days, then spike 10–20×. Donations ramp slightly earlier (~E−10) and hit 4–5× report volume on E-Day ($313K in 2018, $83K in 2022). 2026 donations are running well ahead of both past cycles at E−12; expect the report surge to begin ~E−10.
