We have a shot at beating Hillary's fundraising record (6.2 million). But I was wondering if anyone knows if the money that the Central, Mountan, and West time zones donate while it's still before midnight in their respective time zones will also count?

It's going to be really close and every penny is important.

From everything that I have read the day is based on EASTERN TIME. Thus it ends at 12 Eastern, 11 Central, 10 Mountain and 9 Pacific.

Donations after those times will be counted as donations on the 17th.

IT does, because thats the 24hr period. 9pm western is deadline for those cats..
I think thats BS though... it needs to start eastern and end western.

Then I'm confused by the December 16th vs nov 5th graph:

http://www.ronpaulgraphs.com/dec_16_vs_nov_5_total.html

The November 5th graph suggests that we raised about exactly 4 million (not 4.2 or 4.3 which is the official number). I was thinking that was because some of the donations past that time also counted.

Is it a graphical error on their part? Sorry to be a pest but I want to know.
