An 88-year-old widow in a Michigan trailer with no computer, a walker, and a pension made 14,696 political donations in five years. Eight a day. Every single day. Including the day her house burned down. I ran the numbers. Then I followed the money. Full story in Article

Let us start with a word problem. I give these to sophomores. They are not hard.
A woman is 88 years old. She is a widow. Her house burned down two years ago and she now lives in a trailer at the end of a rutted dirt road in rural Michigan, with her dog. She owns an old pickup. She lives on a modest pension. She does not own a computer. Her internet, in her own words, works "sometimes."
Question: how many separate online political donations did this woman make over the last five years?

The answer, according to Federal Election Commission records, is FOURTEEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED NINETY-SIX

That works out to roughly eight donations per day, every single day, for five straight years. Christmas. Easter. The day of her husband's memorial. The day her house burned to the ground. Eight a day, averaging about nine dollars and change apiece, from a woman who needed two tries to unlock her own phone on camera and who told a reporter, when he handed her nine hundred pages of her own supposed giving history, "Hell no. I don't have that kind of money."

This kind of money laundering was revealed a few years ago, but the dirty dems of ActBlue are still at it.

It’s obvious this woman didn’t actually donate $150K to the Dems. But someone did. Wonder who?

And there is zero chance this is a one-off situation. I’m certain there are countless other “mega-donors” like her out there.

This thread will probably not have VOR, low-t, Byron Maojangles, Decayed terd, or SFP in it.

Looked her up on the FEC website and confirmed a very large history of very small donations.

Not sure if the website has a way to search for individuals who made thousands of small donations. If it's possible to download the full database for each year some enterprising autist would be able to whip up some code quickly and identify all potential smurfing victims.

14,696 donations for a total of $150K.
Who launders $10 at a time, over 5 years?

This reminds me of when the poor widow gave 2 pennies to Jesus and Jesus said that it was worth more than all the money the rich republicans gave

In before VOR says she had dementia and didn't realize she had already donated.

Was it actually her money or someone deposited money in her account and then was sent to the fraud?

The tiny amounts keep it under the FEC radar.

Do this with a large number of people and it becomes worth doing. The specific frequency indicates automation. A live person would take a day off or would accidentally donate 4 or 6 times on a certain day instead of 5.

Prepaid Visa cards. She never had the money, they just used her name. The small amount not only keeps it off the FEC radar but also makes it not worthwhile for the campaign to send an acknowledgement in the mail. So they can play dumb (or in the rare case they're honest, refund and report).

It was probably made with her credentials, and like mail voting, is by-design not traceable.

This is why Dems brag about X% of my donations are from small dollar donors.

Like I am for the poor, just as long as my grifters can use your data as a filter.
