Read this before using any number
- Memo rows (the second ActBlue listing of a gift) are never added; the donor lines are.
- Refunds are matched to a donor by exact normalized name and state. Of the FEC’s own refund total, $1,695.02 is not matched to a donor: $400 is itemized but matched no donor and $1,295.02 is not in the itemized lines.
- A donor group joins spellings of one donor; each join names its basis: same street address, probable (same name and employer or place), or name only.
- Agency checks show GVI money moving for a contractor’s work, not that the contractor received each dollar; they are never added to the company’s own checks. Purchase orders are commitments, not payments.
Check the figures
python reproduce.py checks a selected set of the report's figures against these files with Python's standard library and writes figures.csv (PASS or FAIL per figure, with the kind of file it reads); the package README lists the figures it cannot check. At this version: 392 of 392 selected checks pass. sha256sum -c MANIFEST.sha256 checks every file against the list below.
