Keeping VoteVets and 2020 on the same line

The sentence that carries the number should carry both nouns. Example: VOTEVETS reported $36,121,936.87 in FEC receipts in the 2020 cycle (committee C00418897). A sentence that drops 2020 is a different claim. A sentence that drops VoteVets is a different claim.

All committees and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $36,121,936.87: treat it as a donor roster, treat it as a 2020 grand total for every committee, or treat it as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote disbursements $30,891,918.38 with its own label, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Cash on hand in this extract is $6,460,576.94.

No occupation split, no state split, and no named-donor list appears here. If a later extract revises $36,121,936.87 or $30,891,918.38, the live VoteVets overlay and the live 2020 page control. This JSON file is a snapshot of packet facts, not a third disclosure system. 2020 is a presidential cycle tag. Do not add 2020 and 2022 VoteVets receipts on this URL.

VOTEVETS stays a hybrid PAC with a non-contribution account, nonqualified (FEC type V) on this URL. Super PAC flag 0. Cash-on-hand and individual-contribution lines appear only when the packet stores them. Cash on hand in this extract is $6,460,576.94. Individual contributions in this extract are $6,509,844.99. Committee designation is U, stored as unauthorized committee (designation U). Extra fields remain packet facts, not a donor or payee table. Do not borrow missing columns from a sibling slug.

A researcher quoting $36,121,936.87 should still say VoteVets, C00418897, and 2020 in the same footnote. A researcher quoting $30,891,918.38 should still say disbursements. Mixing those labels, or mixing FEC receipts with USAspending obligations, is the error this join page exists to prevent.
