Worth a look

Worth a look Late reports

1 large contribution ($5,000) reported on an A-1 after the deadline

A contribution of $1,000 or more must be reported to the State Board of Elections within 5 business days (2 in the last 30 days before an election the candidate is on the ballot for). The latest: $5,000 from West Suburban Teachers Union Local 571 COPE Fund, received 2022-10-05, reported 2023-01-14: 65 business days, 60 past the deadline.

What to check

The receipt date is what the committee reported; a correction or a typo there changes the count.
A contribution received and returned within the same quarterly period needn't be reported on an A-1.
The Board decides on fines and can waive them (inadvertence, clerical error, days late).
