RAYPAC donations to 2020 election deniers and the open source project they inspired me to create
When researching donation history for RAYPAC, I discovered that the FEC maintains a pretty awesome API into nearly all aspects of federal election finance called OpenFEC. This gave me the idea to write a small utility wrapping this API to allow a user to quickly pull historical data of direct donations from a specific PAC to any number of candidates someone might be interested in. For my use case of election deniers, I used data maintained by [](fivethirtyeight.com) to search RAYPAC FEC reciepts with my tool and  in just a few lines of code.
