Exclusive: Error in second half of 2025 came after IRS saw over a quarter of its workforce reduced after huge cuts by DOGE
A technical glitch at the understaffed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is masking millions of dollars in campaign contributions to state-level election groups, including key governor and attorney general races, a campaign finance watchdog has told the Guardian.
A total of $51m for the second half of 2025 remains unaccounted for due to this technical error, according to the Center for Political Accountability (CPA), a non-profit that tracks corporate spending.
Researchers at the CPA noticed the discrepancy in February, when donor and spending lists from the year before are typically made public after a 31 January deadline. But so far, the disclosures remain blank.



Israel has likely already realized aipac is a poison pill for Dems candidates. And they are already (and have been for years) making super pacs to try to funnel the money in inconspicuously.
But people are paying more attention and that route is not working a well as it used to.
They are going to start using other methods to buy candidates.
We have to figure out how they are going about this and root it out.
Otherwise we will keep electing their picks.
