Xerox and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Xerox crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Xerox and 2012 — sum to $695,431. 126 itemized contributions and 27 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 Xerox hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Twenty-seven donors and 126 Xerox lines in 2012 sit under the one-word brand. Later spin-off names are not recoded into this historical cell. Federal copier or services awards on USAspending are a different file. The 27 identities are text matches, not a certified payroll. XEROX CORPORATION, XEROX CORP, CONDUENT, and generic ENGINEER occupation strings are other keys.

9.8% of the Xerox roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,102,077 ($7.1 million). The 2012 slice of $695,431 is about 9.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 90.2%. Treating 2012 as the Xerox FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $7,102,077 as the denominator for the 9.8% 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 $7,102,077.

126 contributions from 27 donors

Dividing $695,431 by 126 contributions yields about $5,519 per itemized gift. Dividing by 27 donors yields about $25,757 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 4.7. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

27 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 Xerox 2012 holds the rows.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Xerox 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 Xerox to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $695,431 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 126 contributions, the 27 unique donors, and the 9.8% share of $7,102,077.

Limits of the Xerox × 2012 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $695,431. 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 document-technology NAICS total and not a Xerox PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 27 donors, and 126 contributions. XEROX CORPORATION, XEROX CORP, CONDUENT, and generic ENGINEER occupation strings are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Xerox and 2012 together

Start with $695,431, then Xerox 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Xerox, 2012, $695,431, 126 contributions, 27 donors, 9.8% of $7,102,077, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 9.8% share, the 27-donor count, and the $5,519 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.

Questions

How much did Xerox donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $695,431 in itemized individual contributions for the Xerox grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 126 contributions and 27 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,102,077 all-cycle figure.

What share of Xerox FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,102,077. The 2012 cell of $695,431 is about 9.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 90.2% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Xerox hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Xerox’s PAC or an official account?

No. $695,431 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Xerox. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a document-technology NAICS total and not a Xerox PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Xerox 2012 join?

Open Xerox 2012 for the cycle overlay, Xerox for the grouping hub, and the 2012 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.
