The FEC publishes names and addresses as reported, but does not assign a persistent ID to each individual contributor. GovMoneyGraph links variants here only when employer and location or occupation evidence corroborates compatible names; conflicting middle initials remain separate. These heuristic clusters stay reviewable until promoted into the persistent entity graph through the labeled gold-set process.
