The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory agency whose purpose is to enforce campaign finance law in US federal elections. The FEC provides a REST API to query all campaign data of every candidate. By collecting and analyzing the direct and indirect (Super PAC) contributions, Splunk can show the relative influence of each candidate of the midterm. Also learn how Splunk powers the Splunk for Good midterm website using Splunk's REST API, HEC, and Amazon S3 hosting. This talk is an update of the 2016 Presidential Election talk from .conf16.
