BERNIE 2016 — 2016 cycle receipts

Two keys: C00577130 and election cycle 2016

FEC cycle tags are even years. 2016 therefore covers the paired odd year as well. BERNIE 2016 receipts of $237,640,609.52 are the tagged window, not a single calendar year and not an election-night dump. Disbursements $232,185,441.62 follow the same tag.

Committee type P is presidential authorized committee (FEC type P). The packet sets isSuperPac = 0 for this committee-cycle row. Do not relabel the committee as a Super PAC from outside knowledge. Type P is the stored class. Those flags travel with the row. They do not create extra dollar fields.

Internal links stay inside the packet: BERNIE 2016, the 2016 election cycle, all committees, and all FEC ties. Use them rather than inventing URLs.

Committee identity versus cycle identity

The committee dimension answers who filed. BERNIE 2016 filed. The cycle dimension answers which two-year tag. 2016 is the tag. Receipts $237,640,609.52 require both answers. Dropping either answer misstates the extract.

2016 type P authorized committee C00577130. Use that sentence when comparing this URL to another Bernie 2016 cycle page.

2016 receipts are not election-night math

2016 as a label does not rank BERNIE 2016 against peers. Peer ranking would need other committees’ dollars, which this packet does not print. The cycle hub is the place for that table.

A presidential-year fec two-year window describes the calendar, not the committee type. Type remains P.

Arithmetic on Bernie 2016 cycle totals

Two fields, two labels. Receipts: $237,640,609.52. Disbursements: $232,185,441.62. Committee: BERNIE 2016. Cycle: 2016. Source: FEC.gov. That citation order prevents a downstream writer from dropping a side.

Keep Bernie 2016 separate from award files

Filer-entered names can change. BERNIE 2016 is the string in this extract. A later filing that uses a different spelling is still C00577130 on the overlay, but this snapshot keeps the packet string.

Banned inference: treating $237,640,609.52 as proof that donations paid for federal awards. They did not, on this record. The record is FEC receipts.

How to keep the join intact

Preserve both nouns in titles and headings: BERNIE 2016 and 2016. Preserve C00577130 when the display name is abbreviated to Bernie 2016. Preserve $237,640,609.52 as receipts, not as awards.
