Sure, there seems to be a grouping of people who have contributed dozens upon dozens of times, within a short time span. If it were me, I'd think that some of them had psychological problems. But this is stuff that will get resolved during standard audits, and the window is open to rectify this matter.
SBS should have had automated payment processing system in place, but he's not a professional campaigner that generates high-volume donations like this, and does not have the multi-year infrastructure in place to have such a construct installed.
But, whatever floats the boat, because if it's not this it will be some other hair-on-fire whine tomorrow.

(9,313 posts)The report doesn't provide any info on how far over limit the people listed are. Most could be something like $30 or $60 over. Can't know without adding up. And as for length meaning something, the length is not surprising given the number of individual, small, contributions on each page. (And also given that Sanders' monthly filings are something like 20,000 pages long.
I have very little doubt that if the Clinton campaign were juggling reporting on little donations coming through multiple avenues, they'd have the same problem.
Apparently this is a problem that's quite common:
