I am trying to update my spreadsheet with the Indiana House Races by putting in some campaign finance numbers. The finance statements have been submitted to the Indiana Secretary of State but have not yet been made available online.
I don’t know whether or when the statements will be available online, but I would humbly suggest that in a perfect world, such information would be readily available long enough before the election to help inform the electorate.
But, such information will likely have to wait. I know that the Secretary of State is working tirelessly to make certain that not one eligible voter is impeded in the slightest by the election bureaucracy.
Ok, I’ll bite. What valuable insights would the info impart? All I’ve seen this year is a shift in those who unilaterally condemn corporate donations to an acceptance, because this year, they’re going to the right team.
For me it would give me a better sense of who is putting together a viable campaign.
And, in a less politically neutral sense, I like to, for example, keep an eye on where Amway money is going.
