The campaign scam is about to hit the fan.

Here’s a post from that thread:

so 709,520 people donated $250 each to Zero in September.

Actually, it’s even more people than that. They reported 1.8 million donors.

35k people gave an average of $2,600, while just over 1.7 million people gave an average of $53. Half the campaign’s haul came from people giving around the maximum amount and half from people who don’t have to be disclosed.

Contributions under $200 don’t have to be disclosed, but the campaign still has to keep track of the donor’s name, in case subsequent donations push their contribution over the reporting threshold.

For contributions under $50, however, the campaign doesn’t even have to keep track of the donor’s name. It is effectively considered a “petty cash” donation. A person could theoretically make 10 $49 donations and never be reported, even though their total contributions are above the FEC’s reporting threshold.

With an average donation of $53 from small donors, Obama has A LOT of donors who will never be disclosed and whose names aren’t even known to the campaign.

Most of that info from here: Windfall: Obama Raises $181 Million, Only Around 2% of Donations Reportable.

But, one thing to keep in mind: The Obama campaign has turned off name and address verification. You can put any name or address you want on the online form. As long as it is a valid credit card number, it will go through.

This opens the door for several forms of election fraud:

You can make multiple donations, with different names.
You can make multiple donations with a pre-loaded debit card, after buying them at Wal-Mart or any grocery store with another credit card or cash.
You can make donations from a foreign account.

I suspect that some of these issues are what will be hitting the news in the next 24 hours. The question is whether the Kneepad Media will cover it. If not, Ryan and Romney should figure out a way to insert it into the debate. That will get it past the Kneepad Media’s filter.

Sounds just like the millions of $25 prepaid gift debit card contributions bought by Soros and the Saudis in
