Baupost Group Inc and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Baupost Group Inc crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Baupost Group Inc and 2012 — sum to $614,900. Twenty-three itemized contributions and 2 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Baupost Group Inc hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Twenty-three 2012 lines from two donor keys sit under the Baupost Group Inc legal-suffix string. The Inc. suffix is part of the stored employer text. Dropping it would point at a different key. Two identities are not a census of a Boston investment partnership. 13F holdings are not this table. BAUPOST, BAUPOST GROUP without Inc, and generic INVESTOR or HEDGE FUND occupation strings are other keys.

2.4% of the Baupost Group Inc roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $25,784,037 ($25.8 million). The 2012 slice of $614,900 is about 2.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.6%. Treating 2012 as the Baupost Group Inc FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $25,784,037 as the denominator for the 2.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $25,784,037.

2 donors, 23 lines

Twenty-three receipts on 2 donors is a high lines-per-donor ratio: 11.5 on average. Dollars per line average about $26,735. Dollars per donor average about $307,450. That shape often appears when a small number of people give to many committees or when joint-fundraising receipts multiply Schedule A rows. The facts count the rows. They do not name the committees.

2 donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of a payroll. Household members who reuse a workplace can appear. The Commission does not certify employment. Unitemized gifts never enter $614,900.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Baupost Group Inc is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Baupost Group Inc to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $614,900 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 23 contributions, the 2 unique donors, and the 2.4% share of $25,784,037.

Limits of the Baupost Group Inc × 2012 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $614,900. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a hedge-fund NAICS total and not a Baupost PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 2 donors, and 23 contributions. BAUPOST, BAUPOST GROUP without Inc, and generic INVESTOR or HEDGE FUND occupation strings are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Baupost Group Inc and 2012 together

Start with $614,900, then Baupost Group Inc 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Baupost Group Inc, 2012, $614,900, 23 contributions, 2 donors, 2.4% of $25,784,037, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 2.4% share, the 2-donor count, and the $26,735 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
