In the past two days at the Missouri Ethics Commission for the two 2016 republican Secretary of State candidates:

C151004 09/16/2015 ASHCROFT FOR MISSOURI CNS Corporation 500 E. 9th Street Kansas City MO 64106 9/15/2015 $10,000.00

[emphasis added]

C041029 09/17/2015 CITIZENS FOR WILL KRAUS August Bush III 1 Mid Rivers Mall Dr. #100 St Peters MO 63376 Retired 9/17/2015 $10,000.00

[emphasis added]

What’s with that amount?

The candidate from eastern part of the state received a contribution from an entity in the western part of the state. The candidate from the western part of the state received a contribution from an individual in the eastern part of the state. Got it? The amounts are the same. Go figure.
