Election Assistance Commission federal obligations in California

One EAC award tagged to California

Election Assistance Commission as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 1 record summing to $88,174,316. An Election Assistance Commission award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. An Oregon-coded award is OR even if the election system vendor sits in California.

One award against $88,174,316 is a one-row election-assistance file, not a typical multi-award book. The implied mean equals the cell total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1 as 1 unique county clerks, unique voting systems, or named election offices. Election Assistance Commission in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Election Assistance Commission is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

A one-award join still names no recipient. Do not invent the contractor, county, or voting-system vendor. Fifty-eight counties share one CA stamp with no published split. Correlation is not causation: California did not cause $88,174,316 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 525 × CA only.

A one-row file is not a county-clerk roster

$88,174,316 does not measure county clerks, unique voting systems, or named election offices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 525 and a CA place-of-performance tag.

California statewide, not a 58-county map

Place of performance CA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. An Oregon-coded award is OR even if the election system vendor sits in California. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $88,174,316 by city, county, or named facility. The 1 award stays statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

A single obligation is still not an outlay

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $88,174,316 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in California confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

California’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $88,174,316.

Citing Election Assistance × California

Cite USAspending.gov: Election Assistance Commission (agency 525) obligated $88,174,316 on 1 award coded to California. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as county clerks, unique voting systems, or named election offices.

Prefer Election Assistance Commission in California if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. California federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CA. Election Assistance Commission is the 525 parent without the CA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $88,174,316.

A usable footnote names Election Assistance Commission, California, $88,174,316, and 1. The compact headline $88.2M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $88.17 million is $88,174,316 divided by 1. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. County names, vendor identities, and voting-system titles are unpublished on this packet.

One award against $88,174,316 is a one-row election-assistance file, not a typical multi-award book. The implied mean equals the cell total. On this join the implied mean near $88.17 million should not be treated as a typical award size. Without a distribution, $88,174,316 can be dominated by a few rows even when 1 is large, or by those same few rows when 1 is small. This page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It keeps repeating the two facts and the two keys: Election Assistance Commission (525) and California (CA). Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays. A one-award join still names no recipient. Do not invent the contractor, county, or voting-system vendor. Fifty-eight counties share one CA stamp with no published split. County names, vendor identities, and voting-system titles are unpublished on this packet.
