A record amount of money has been spent in this year's U.S. House and Senate primaries by super PACs that did not disclose their donors before the elections. According to a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission data, more than $48 million has been spent this way, which is significantly higher than previous years. These groups take advantage of the campaign finance calendar, forming after the last FEC deadline to raise and spend unlimited funds in the final days of an election without revealing donors until later. This practice, while not new, has increased dramatically during this年的
