Jake, I hear Conway had to make a major amendment to his 2nd quarter report. How come u have not covered that, like say the kings and everyone else who made mistakes? Did he submit a amended report and if so why?

Maybe because that’s not big news?
They filed an amendment with a cover letter stating: “IThe error was with transaction ID C18076994, Schedule A, page 415; it listed the contributor as an individual, Valerie Hall. We are filing a corrected page 415 with the firm contributor’s name — Hunton & Williams, LLP listed, along with the unchanged summary pages.”
Hardly a “major amendment” – nearly all campaigns have filed amendments the past few months. Rand Paul’s included.
Campaign finance reports are public records – available via the internet – so you’re able to verify things instead of just going on what you hear.
