Following the Political Money

Shane Ferro donated some money to a political action committee. Here’s something really cool: Using data from the Federal Election Commission, The Wall Street Journal has created an interactive graphic showing the “connections between political action committees, super PACS, campaigns and individuals.” They’re calling it “Political Moneyball.” There’s a lot of stuff to extrapolate, so I’d suggest reading through the WSJ’s description of how it all works here, and I’m looking forward to seeing what people discover.
