List a committee's filed documents
Every document a campaign committee filed with the State Board of Elections, with a link to each. Newest first: D-1 Statement of Organization, D-2 quarterly, semiannual, pre-election and final reports (with their totals), A-1 and B-1 ($1,000+) reports, raffle reports, letters. document.url opens the filing on elections.il.gov: a report page for electronic filings (format html), the scanned PDF for paper ones (format pdf; ISBE has no scan of some older paper filings, and then document is null). superseded is ISBE's archived flag: replaced by an amendment, or an A-1/B-1 whose contributions were reported again on the next D-2.
