(15,325 posts)Multiple donations kept just under the reportable amount, like $27, $5, $3, under $200 I believe, are listed as Unitemized Donations, & the FEC doesn't look at them.
The use of bot or stolen names (STRIPE credit card processing Peter Thiel) & prepurchased cards loaded & set to repeat small donations monthly, is now a known fact in tracing campaigns & PACS that suddenly have an astonishing amount of those "Unitemized Donors", to avoid revealing who they are from.
Will have to watch how this affects the foreign flow of campaign funding.
Btw. Facebook also has an app where one can donate to a candidate. Its in the candidate's campaign ad.
Like paypal but Facebook for Political donors.
And if one keeps their multiple donations under the limit, FEC simply lists those as Unitemized Donations & doesn't look at where or how often that low $ donation is from.
