How much did ZIP 28277 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 28277 total $12,008,608 across 62,884 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Ballantyne and not the North Carolina State Board of Elections campaign totals.

Does 62,884 contributions mean 62,884 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 28277 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 28277 include North Carolina state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings sit outside $12,008,608. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 28277 FEC page for the federal table. Sort by amount rather than treating 62,884 as a headcount.

Where can I see 28277 itemizations?

On the ZIP 28277 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $12,008,608, 62,884 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 28277 add up to $12.0M across 62,884 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a North Carolina State Board of Elections local file. Sixty-three thousand lines at this dollar scale is a long receipt list: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Ballantyne’s $12,008,608 high-volume file

$12,008,608 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 28277 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the North Carolina State Board of Elections filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.0M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Ballantyne spent.

Sixty-two thousand eight hundred eighty-four rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $12 million. 28277 is a Ballantyne key, distinct from SouthPark 28210. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 28277.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,008,608. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a south Charlotte political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $12.0M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

62,884 lines behind Ballantyne's $12.0M

The extract lists 62,884 contributions for 28277. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Ballantyne filings. A file this long at $12.0M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. Large committee lines can still sit inside a long list.

Scanning 62,884 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 28277 FEC page by amount to see whether $12,008,608 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and split receipts all add rows. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the line count.
