How the leaderboard works
Each confirmed USD gift is credited only to the page whose Election.org sponsorship link was used. Candidate pages have a $50 link-research goal; PAC pages have a $100 goal. Reaching the goal funds verification and publication of that page’s official donation links for everyone. Links already published stay available.
Only successful live payments to Election.org count. Duplicate payment events count once. Refunded and disputed gifts are excluded. No donor identity, email, payment reference or message is public, and gifts never change ballot ordering, public facts or editorial conclusions.
Campaign contributions use the campaign’s own official checkout and do not count here. Link research and maintenance are separate from campaign fundraising.
