Contribution data for
1998 is summarized by primary and general election contributions. 2000 contribution
data is summarized by each reporting period.
Contribution totals
include both cash and in-kind contributions. Contributions between $0 and
$200 are not itemized. The total amounts in the two categories of contribution
of $200 are below are accurate. One caveat, however, is that it was sometimes
difficulty to accurately allocate contributions into the $50 below and the
$51 to $200 categories over the different reporting periods. The result is
that for some PACs with large numbers of contributions between $51 and $200
the amount of contributions in that category may be undercounted and the amount
of contributions in the $50 or less category may be overstated.
All of the itemized
contributions that are greater than $200 should be accurate. If anyone finds
any discrepancies we would appreciate it being called to our attention.
