(22,308 posts)It wouldn't be surprising if a small percentage of donors gave to much.
Not a big deal.

(22,308 posts)If there are some discrepancies the money will simply will be paid back.
This is much ado about nothing.

(11,785 posts)My understanding is that this sort of thing isn't uncommon, nor "proof" of anything underhanded. Not everyone keeps precise track of how much they've donated and sometimes campaigns have to return money. If this gets played as SCANDAL SCANDAL OMG BERNIE IS SO CROOKED, then you'll know it's kitchen sink material.

(46,416 posts)his reliance on small donors. The point is to drag him into "just another politician" territory. They've tried it before, hasn't stuck.

(22,308 posts)5. Your report discloses $903.00 from Southwest Adventist University in Offsets to operating expenditures on line 20(a). Your report also discloses $331.34 from MassMutual in other receipts on line 21 of the Detailed Summary Page. Please be advised that if there are not corresponding expenditures for these entries, it may constitute an excessive or prohibited contribution. Please amend your report or provide an explanation for this apparent discrepancy.
OMG!!! How Can Bernie Ever Be Elected Now!!!!

(22,308 posts)So, maybe 100 people are over the $2,700 limit for Bernie?
He has hundreds of thousands of people contributing. It would not surprise me if a tiny percentage of them have given more than the limit allows.
It is a meaningless little blip.

(5,252 posts)has been in the works the entire time. It appears he had to scrap the original draft, which read "not cut and dry" and is now working on a piece that turns in this direction: "Where the word of a proud photographer conflicts with the pride of an ex-wife and friends."
aside: if you've seen 2 images featuring Hillary's "Jazz Hands," those are mine

(14,933 posts)astronomical amount of donations from so many individuals, tracking has been hard. Even Act Blue has sent out requests for donations so they can upgrade their systems to handle the inflow. His last FEC filing was 100,000 pages long.
