This is why I am encouraging a closer look.  This may all be just a simple misunderstanding of how things are being aggregated/transmitted.   I honestly don't know but I suspected we'd see it elsewhere.

I don't like when the left jumps to incorrect conclusions so I certainly won't encourage that behavior elsewhere.

Run it with both.

The goal isn't bothering people for what they believe. Goal is to see if campaign contributions are being laundered. On either side. Don't much care for money being laundered to affect our governance either way

They're never going to stay away from the middle class.

I don't have any grand goals I can put in caps lock on an internet video. I also don't think the Federal government is capable of reform. That's why this isn't hyper organized or anything.

That's the first thing I did. I gave Tim Scott $10 but it didn't register. I am very certain that the data is manipulated for my zip code. It registered 7k donations to Actblue in the 18 months timeline. There isn't anywhere near that many liberals in my county-not to mention zip code. Sure there was multiple donations for a single person but I didn't recognize a single name. When you live in a town where you know everyone it's really strange not to recognize anyone.

One thing I'll look into tomorrow is the "contributor_aggregate_ytd" doesn't seem to track with the individual contributions.  But I'm going to have to check how I've sorted entries.

Again, large datasets are hard to really understand.  Don't jump to conclusions, I've done plenty of that professionally, and don't learn my lesson.

I would like to know more about same day donations. I saw the post about people rounding up purchases on a card which makes some sense but I would have expected a bunch of .87, .56, .30 and other random amounts.

This makes me question the earmarked funds on the same day. Could they be that person doing donated $10 a week/month whatever but they divided up each donation to the individual “funds.”  

I will have to do some searching when I get home, currently traveling and the computer with me to examine the data would be painful.

Check back tomorrow and again in a few days. The data probably isn't updated in real time and may be loaded as a batch process that runs at a set time (usually overnight).

To be fair, in my zip code I personally know several of the people who's names have come up as unemployed, but they're actually all retired.  I get your point 100%, but "unemployed" in many cases probably just means "retired."

The unemployed part is probably just retired.  I looked up my zip code and a lady whom I know well, and was a Judge here in Madison County for many years is listed as unemployed.  What's strange to me is that she's made 2056 dpnations so far this year, often 10 or 12 per day and all small amounts.  Either there's some fishy shit going on with that, or maybe there's a way a person can donate some amount, like $100 to Act Blue and then specify that $7 is to be earmarked for one cause, $12 for another, etc.  That's about the only way I could see a legit reason for multiple donations per day, but it still doesn't explain donations damn near every single day.

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/investigation-security-actblue-donations-spreads-19-states

A sprawling investigation into the online fundraising platform ActBlue has expanded into 19 states, as attorneys general across the country press the company on its security practices and whether Democrats might be using the platform to cheat on election donations.

An investigation that began with a few states and a House committee has now spread across nearly half the country as chief state investigators are endeavoring to determine whether Democrats have used the ActBlue to launder foreign money or craft donations in people’s names without their permission, a practice known as "straw donations."

In a letter sent last week to ActBlue CEO and President Regina Wallace-Jones, the state attorneys general highlighted potential security issues with the online fundraising platform that could be allowing donations made in people’s names who didn’t donate.

“Recent reporting suggests that that [sic] there may be donors across the country who are identified in filings with the Federal Election Commission as having donated to candidates through ActBlue (and other affiliated entities), but who did not actually make those donations,” the attorneys general wrote.

"Smurfing"
“That raises a host of concerns about whether ActBlue’s platform is being used to facilitate ‘smurfing’––a type of money laundering in which donors break up large donations and submit them under different names to disguise who the money comes from and thereby skirt contribution limits in violation of state and federal law,” the letter continued.

Here's an interesting one for you.  One woman has made 957 contributions between 1/14/23 and 8/31/24.  She listed either "Retired" or "Not employed" for all of them.  The contributions sum up to $22,740 ($19,971 earmarked; $2,769 to Act Blue). Only one single donation of $500 was larger than $100.  

The contributions also sharply increased in frequency around late June.

Perhaps even more importantly, if there is donation fraud going on and anybody can go online and easily see it, why haven't Fed watchdogs done something about it long before this?

Men are beginning to realize we have abdicated responsibility to the government for too long.

It's entirely possible the government didn't look into it from either incompetence or malice.  I'm still on the side of Hanlon’s Razor. I don't think my country has that many bad people in it. If it did, I wouldn't enjoy living here as much as I do.

However, there is a pressing need to enforce laws we already have aggressively.

The majority of people are not principled, both right and left.

The vast majority of people are go along to get along. Punching a clock and not trying to be bothered.

Reform is totally possible. Treat it exactly how western justice treats crime. "Mr go along to get along, you did ____. That's a big problem. You have a choice, tell us who and why they told you to do this and you'll get probation."

Get the big fish and it's done. Keep a sharp eye on the new big fish it'll be fine. Roll back some federal control would be even better

I looked up my zip and more than half of the donations listed are from the same person - almost 700 individual donations since 1/1/23. Amounts range from $2 to $100, sometimes multiples on the same day (20 donations listed as having occurred on a single day in one instance). I don't know this person personally but a google search says they are in their 80's for whatever that's worth. Definitely seems odd if the information is accurate.

I sort of forgot about this, in my ZIP code(s), things generally make sense.  I.E. there are way more "micro donations" from leftists, but the stuff they donate to is consistent.  There's a retired person with 271 donations, almost all to actblue in the last year, but the some total is only $350ish.

The right leaning people tend to donate a handful of times, but more meaningful amounts, like $100 or more.

Interestingly, at least one donation I personally made is NOT showing up, even with all of the filters off other than my last name. I don't want to raise too much attention to that, since it was to a pretty decent congressman, and maybe they forgot to report it.

I just took a quick look, and a cousin (who may be liberal - not a close relative) has 39 entries to Act Blue for the last year. All different amounts and all with different earmarks. Sometimes 4 entries per day. Listed as Not Employed, but was self-employed to the best of my knowledge.

I remember looking at this a few years ago as well.

Based on what has been posted here as worth looking into, not only is ActBlue doing this in my zipcodes, but WinRed is doing the same thing and earmarking funds out to the NRSC, NRCC and Donald J Trump for President, Inc

ETA: You can look at images of the actual FEC form, on one form, a person has 3 donations on the same day, $2.22, $4.92, $3.12

Page refresh keeps getting hung up so having trouble going further but in my zip code there are less than 2500 total donations listed for 23-24 and it shows these 2 guys at 489 and 206 donations respectively.  Lots of same day or several days in a row and earmarked contributions.

Did you get those charts off the fec.gov website?
If you did, let me know what to click.

I have a guy in my zip code, that since January 2023, has made 7550 separate contributions, for a total of over $75.000, all to leftist orgs, mostly to Act Blue

Not if it has not been exposed by the media. The only way i first heard of this was on Xtwitter. James O'Keefe's X account earlier this year.  It is a straight up money laundering funnel for the Democrats. Some Democrat pensioner is on their list for sending $25...once. That account is then used to push a shitload of micro donations for "the cause". The original donor has no clue.

From what I've gathered from watching James O'Keefe, this is some sort of bot laundering. The amount of each "donation" can vary widely.

Say Gerdie Bluehair does send one legit donation, say like $25, the money funneling bot exploits that. Unbeknownst to Gerdie, "she" sends in another for .87 cents at 2:31 AM, then another $87 at 5:34 AM.  This goes on for a year and now it shows she's given 8700 micro donations for a grand total of $87,000.

Only one single donation of $500 was larger than $100.  

The contributions also sharply increased in frequency around late June.

that’s some serious money. The charts I made in excel; you can export the data to excel and fiddle around with it pretty easily.

Weird

1/7, 2/7 - .50

1/13, 2/13 - $1.00

1/21, 2/21 - $25.00

1/24, 2/24 - $2.50

Automated donations, or some sort of large scale fraud/laundering where they flood it with so many small amounts
