Resolve the remaining source and ballot gaps

District and local ballot rosters, remaining linked financial records, paper reports, and official report/amendment reconciliation still need verification. The included API records are observations, not complete or current campaign totals.

Dataset comparison: Arkansas candidate summaries use an Election Year 2026 portal view. The new transaction explorer uses separately observed API rows for selected dates and accounts. These sources are not reconciled to one another. Returns, administrative expenses, contributions made, loans and debts are separate ledgers. Two expenditure rows have unknown amounts. Multistate PAC filings are not necessarily Arkansas election spending.
