Each group that spent in this race is followed to where its own money came from, and what it spent is split by those shares: a group whose money was 60% one person's counts as 60% of its spending theirs. Of what traced, 39% to named individuals, 24% to organizations, 27% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 9.3% not itemized in the filings.
