We track a lot of data here at OpenSecrets. Sometimes, that data reveals something unusual – an anomaly, if you will. That is why we have a handy tool called the Anomaly Tracker to highlight these unusual findings. An anomaly, as we define it, is an occurrence that is out of the ordinary. It is not necessarily an indication that there is something amiss or nefarious. Lawmakers receiving more than 50 percent of their itemized contributions from out of state. PACs giving at least $7,500 to a candidate’s Leadership PAC but nothing to the candidate’s committee. But we can only discover so much on our own. Contest runs as long as there is money involved in American elections. Happy hunting.
