Why doesn't my donation show up?

[Original_Intent]

I have been watching this site http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapApp.do?drillLevel=US&stateName=&cand_id=P80000748

and they have updated for the Q2 amounts but my donation is not showing up within my zip code, and there are smaller donations that are. Any idea why that would be?

There were no donations from my zip code despite the fact that I knew many people who donated. Maybe we didn't fill it out on our donations? I honestly don't remember if there was a place to put zip code or not. This would explain the people who did not declare theirs

didn't see my organization show up either...strange...wondering if the calculations are complete...hmmmm...the good news is that there was $1000 in donations from my zip code...some of it mine, but not all..

I donated online and filled out whatever information was requested there.
Also, since it was done by credit card, I am sure they would have access to this.

I mean, I am sure that if I tried to go over the $2300 limit they would know about it, it just bugs me that it isn't there and wondering if RP is not being credited with all of his funds.

Do you need to break a certain amount total or a certain amount in a single donation for it to show up here?

[Kuldebar]

It is a government agency that has to tally up all that stuff, after all. :p

But, it's probably a matter of timing.

Think about how some charges show up (and when) on credit card statements.

I really think you should just donate again:D

It seems like it doesnt show your name/ zip if you donated less than 200 bucks.

[Lord Xar]

hmmm, my name is not there either......... we should check our statements and see when they posted to our accounts ... I am curious if they DID post in time...

In my zipcode there are some $50 donations that showed up, I've also seen $150 donations, but not mine, my $200 total ($100+$100) is not listed. I know someone in Miami who donated, it's not showing up either.

I wish I lived close enough to help them with this stuff. My people skills suck but I can track and report money.

As I mentioned in another thread, I added up all of the states and got about $1,600,000 and it says the individual contributions are about $3,000,000 for both quarters. I added up 20 of Obama's biggest states and came up $20 million short. Are all of you that aren't showing up internet donors? I'm just trying to find out what all of you not showing up have in common.

Yes, I am ONLY an internet donor.

They will only show your name if you donate in a SINGLE donation 200+ dollars. Then, any future donation will be shown even if less.

Yes I donated online as well.

I donated $200 twice online, only one showed up and they were only a few days apart.



So that is weird!

Candidates must provide donors' names when they have contributed more than $200 in total to the campaign.

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/search_donor.asp

So that means if you contribute $200.01 or more during the campaign they have to report your name.
