IDX and the 2010 FEC election cycle

IDX as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — IDX and 2010 — sum to $524,950. 48 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. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the IDX hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. IDX is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 2 donors and 48 lines in 2010 matched that word. Filers who typed IDX Systems, a product name, or a later parent sit in other buckets. IDX SYSTEMS, IDX CORPORATION, and later owner strings are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string IDX as stored.

8.1% of the IDX roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,459,643. The 2010 slice of $524,950 is about 8.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.9%. Treating 2010 as the IDX FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $6,459,643 as the denominator for the 8.1% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $6,459,643. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

48 contributions from 2 donors

Dividing $524,950 by 48 contributions yields about $10,936 per itemized gift. Dividing by 2 donors yields about $262,475 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 24.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. Two unique donors produced the cycle cell; that is concentration, not an employee census.

2 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for IDX 2010 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. IDX is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and IDX to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $524,950 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 48 contributions, the 2 unique donors, and the 8.1% share of $6,459,643. 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 48 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $524,950. IDX SYSTEMS, IDX CORPORATION, and later owner strings are other keys. Filers who typed IDX Systems, a product name, or a later parent are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. Two unique donors produced the cycle cell; that is concentration, not an employee census. The page is not a health-IT NAICS total and not a successor-company PAC.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. IDX is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $524,950 cell.

Citing IDX and 2010 together

Start with $524,950, then IDX 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: IDX, 2010, $524,950, 48 contributions, 2 donors, 8.1% of $6,459,643, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 8.1% share, the 2-donor count, and the $10,936 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. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.

Questions

How much did IDX donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $524,950 in itemized individual contributions for the IDX grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 48 contributions and 2 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $6,459,643 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of IDX FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $6,459,643. The 2010 cell of $524,950 is about 8.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 91.9% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the IDX hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current IDX employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string IDX. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $524,950 from 2 donors on 48 contribution lines.

Where is the overlay for the IDX 2010 join?

Open IDX 2010 for the cycle overlay, IDX for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
