Hi Anita, here’s the background on the numbers. The $452 number is off the latest filing pulled just this afternoon.   There could be many reasons for the differences.   Many times people pull total receipts which is different from total contributions (raised).   Total receipts can include refunds from vendors, etc.   Raised is the proper number to  use. So the correct number is: Obama Victory 2012: $452,851,099

Still on background, there are no states in BVF.   It is up to the candidate to include other members, reach out and sign them up.
