Where the outside money came from

For the biggest spenders, the money is followed upstream while a single donor supplied at least half of it. From FEC receipts.

The Gap

These totals come from the 24 and 48 hour notices outside groups must file before ads run. They are the disclosed floor. Spending by groups that do not file independent expenditure notices, such as issue ads paid for by 501(c)(4) groups, does not appear here.
