Note that EFF is a 501(c)(3) and is not allowed to endorse candidates, unlike other organizational structures. Some groups have multiple entities with different tax classifications, one of which can endorse candidates and one of which can't. EFF doesn't have that.
There is certainly a formula where e.g. single-issue PACs will support candidates of different parties who agree to support their issue. One of my EFF colleagues around 2009 (???) briefly experimented with making a separate PAC organization to lobby on copyright issues by donating to candidates (intentionally both Democrats and Republicans) who would agree to support the PAC's legislative principles. That PAC project only lasted one or two election cycles and I don't specifically remember why; I think the likeliest reason was simply a lack of donors.
