Republicans’ strategy for today’s special House election in Arizona was to target digital ads to GOP early voters — and it appears to have paid off, with the share of early voters from each party about on par with the past few cycles.

The bigger picture: CLF announced a $10 million digital advertising buy last week, which will be spread across 30 districts. “By placing an emphasis on a hyper-targeted digital effort, CLF was able to focus on turning out key voters,” executive director Corry Bliss said, adding that “CLF has placed a high priority on digital targeting for the 2018 cycle.”
