IBM contributions received by Obama for America

High-volume IBM receipts at Obama for America

21,195 lines totaling $402,748 is the published overlap. FEC.gov is the source. An employer acronym as stored, not a worldwide headcount. The join is not a Columbia University × Obama for America cell or a federal IT award.

IBM is the stored grouping. OBAMA FOR AMERICA (C00431445) also appears on the Columbia University tie. 21,195 itemized lines totaling $402,748 describe a high-volume, smaller-mean cell. The packet does not name engineers and does not treat the committee as IBM's connected PAC.

21,195 lines at about $19 each is $402,748 divided by 21,195. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical gift, not a contribution limit, and not a unique-donor census. Unitemized gifts never enter $402,748.

Obama for America is one filter on $10,520,465

About 3.8% of $10,520,465 is this cell. The leftover $10,117,717 sits on other committees under the same IBM grouping, or outside this recipient filter.

Line count is not headcount

Repeat gifts, household reuse of the employer string, and multi-cycle filings can inflate 21,195 without naming 21,195 people. The packet supplies no unique-donor count. Cite $402,748, 21,195 contributions, $10,520,465 on the IBM grouping, and C00431445. Keep both sides named: IBM as grouped text, OBAMA FOR AMERICA as recipient.
