That’s the way I read it. If you further read the entire accompanying narrative with the article at the leak, you will see that a common trick by some of them is to expense-out money to vendors for all sorts of things. It also says there are MANY of these PACs whose ‘vendors’ are employees, workers, relatives or other persons not wholly identified. What’s worse FEC regs don’t require them to go beyond the first vendor expenditure. Thus, that expenditure gets credited as an expense. This study sought to find out the truth - and the truth is very ugly my FRiend.

Thanks for confirming my understanding of the data. I had to ask for confirmation because what I thought it was saying was so unbelievably outrageous I thought I must be reading it inaccurately. A day does not go by that I do not receive at least one solicitation from groups listed. When it comes to giving to charity, I always check first to confirm that it is legitimate and that a high percentage of my donation goes to the cause, not the overhead. It is a shame that there has not been similar information available for conservative political groups until now.
