The vast majority of people, even political donors, do not own BTC

It's nice for now but if everyone used it right now (before scalability issues addressed), the transaction fees would be many times higher than credit cards.

Agree. Feel good that my donation, even though small, was at least processed for free by BitPay.

Would be cool if he talked about that and encouraged bitcoin donations. Obviously a lot of people can't/won't, but some people might look in to it. And it might bring in more donations from current bitcoiners.

thank you Matt Collins. Will you be doing similar reports for the rest of the field in the 2016 forum?

I really dont have time, but anyone is free to do so.... the information is available at www.FEC.gov under the candidate disclosure portal

Uriah · Jul 17, 2015

Lindsey Graham has two donors from Iowa. One is his state director.

This is a little more user-friendly than the FEC portal:

http://realtime.influenceexplorer.c...2016_cycle&is_superceded=False&period_type=Q2

Biggest vendor by far is Saber Communications for $585,057, or ~21% of total spending.

jurgs01 · Jul 17, 2015

This is actually a pretty financially sound report.

AuH2O · Jul 17, 2015

This is a little out-of-whack:

MEDIA BUY 28,889.42
MEDIA PRODUCTION 34,756.00

Generally not great to pay more to make the ads than to air them.

Have you seen the ad? There are exceptions.

We are getting killed in the Super PAC arena:

Are you thinking of the America's Liberty PAC ad?

Rand has Rex Elsass doing his ads.

It doesn't help that Benton PAC sucks. I wouldn't be that excited to find out they have millions to spend.

The amount of money spent on postage is a shame. An old and expensive method. I hope the ROI is good.
