On January 16 the world was shocked by the news that PayPal suspended the account of Ron Paul and froze it that caused the failure of Ron Paul to pay for a recount in New Hampshire. We have already mentioned that nowadays online donations play a great role in politics.
Shortly saying, the funds for campaign of Ron Paul were collected by famous fundraiser group Granny Warriors, the money was designated for a recount of the New Hampshire primary. It was raised $55,600 in total. But right before the deadline PayPal froze mentionned above account and left New Hampshire without GOP recount. Later PayPal unlocked the account and transferred money to New Hampshire where the authorities granted Ron Paul an extension. Now the question with Ron Paul's account is settled but the debates on this topic still continue: was it just a system mistake or the intrigues of rivals?
That is a bright example that online companies have a great importance in political campaigns and in our present life. And beyond any doubts the collaboration of politics and payment services is mutually beneficial.
