In reply to the discussion: House seats that can be flipped [View all]MadashellLynn
(411 posts)33. Flip a District
Bill Maher has a project called "Flip a District" where the populace give names and info about their Congressman they would like to see unseated in the coming election. His show will spotlight the candidate and drop a load of money in the one found to have the nuttiest and most reprehensible in a district that can be flipped.
On the show, Maher solicited viewers to submit nominations via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram using hashtag #flipadistrict. Bill will ultimately choose the district to pursue, but it will be based on viewer response.
Here is a link to the page with the best explanation and some links.
