The ticker at their site was going nuts for days ... jumping by a $1000 every second all day long ...

Some added helpful context: The ActBlue daily average over the preceding 10 days was about $16.9 million.

4 days x $16.9 million = $67.6 million

So the above-normal giving over last four days amounts to about $130 million extra to Democratic causes and campaigns.
