Following up on my previous diary, I spent about an hour figuring out how to check the FEC data for suspect transactions, and I was able to figure out if anyone else did it..

The answer is likely “No”.

I pulled down all 1.8 million disbursement records from the FEC, loaded it into a database, and then screened it for just transactions between 199.90 and 199.99. Looking at the data, it appears a lot of campaigns spent that amount on zoom, and after removing those transactions, we have confirmation.

only 1 ID shows up with more than 5 transactions with THIRTY-SEVEN transactions for exactly 199.99 each totaling about $7400….

Committee ID...C00721365

Devolder-Santos for Congress…
