The Mechanism

A super PAC can raise unlimited amounts from individuals, companies, unions and other groups. It cannot give money directly to candidates or coordinate its spending with them. It spends independently, mostly on ads.

The Gap

Donors marked "No donor disclosure" are companies, LLCs or nonprofits. Unless they are themselves political committees, they do not have to report where their money came from. The disclosed trail ends there.
