The correct amount is $4.28 million. ABC rounds it up. The campaign letter on the website mentioning $3.8 million was written before the end of the the day.
There is a “fudge factor” at play. Since November 5th is actually 29 hours from coast-to-coast, the campaign refers to a 24-hour period (which might not be exactly 12a-12a EST).
RonPaulGraphs explains that it strictly used the on-line contributions and ignored the “spike” of off-line contributions of $250k that were entered into the reporting system at mid-day.

Hope that clears it up.

Ummm, who’s right?”

They all are right.

What happened is at the start of the day the campaign added ~$400,000 off off-line donations to the gauge on the contribution meter to keep it accurate as to the total raised for the quarter.

RonPaulGraphs adjusted the start total for the day to ignore that addition, so they have the most technechly accurate number ($3,992,786) for online and phone donations that day. The campaign number I believe was for ONLINE ONLY donations(clear all-time record for any canidate). The ABC number is an acceptable estimation with all donations included.

Senator Bill Nelson of FL has co sponsored a bill to eliminate paperless voting in all Federal elections as of November 2012. The bill does not go far enough soon enough. The Congress cannot mandate rules for state & local elections, & the 2008 elections could be stolen by hacking into these machines at both the Federal & local levels. Every progfram ever written for these machines has been hacked within a couple days. Grass roots efforts are necessary to pressure state & local lawmakers to eliminate this threat to our right of choice. Come election day, every voter has the right to demand a paper ballot. If your precinct uses touch screen, I urge you to take advantage of that right.

I still haven’t decided who I will vote for a year from now, but I want my vote to be counted

Electronic voting machines are a part of the foundation of the establishment’s control. The tyrants can safely sit behind phony poll results as a screen for the fraud they will pull on election day. The establishment foresaw that a certain percentage of Americans would start to awaken as the tyranny became more obvious. Unless you want all your work to go down the drain you MUST do something about the electronic voting machines. The system can crank in any result they want.

50 lawsuits in the 50 sates are in the process of being filed that demand the decertification of electronic, paperless voting machines like the Diebold system. Please check out the votefraud org also VoteInSunshine and the National Clean Elections Lawsuit: “N-CEL” for more details about this vital subject. Time is short. I pray it is not too late for all of us!

“I care not who votes, I care only about those who count the votes”.-
quote attributed to the dictator Josef Stalin

The graph site covers specifically a 24-hour period, so it’s likely the most accurate.

That being said, there was some evidence that there was a bottleneck in the donation process slowing down the receipts.

Personally I’d call it a day at a nice round 4 million n’ change. Not a bad haul for fringe candidate with imaginary support ;)

It is time for those republicans out there who still believe in these things to open their eyes and see who is the true defender of these principles. It is time for us to realize that Ron Paul has real support from masses of real people, we the people… Ron Paul is electable not because we are told this by the media, but because we the people choose him to be our voice. The message is powerful, it is conservative, and it places we the people in the drivers seat.

If you love the war, but fear a Clinton presidency, know this.. Even though you may think Ron Paul’s policy on Iraq does not align with your own, it is the very issue that only Ron Paul can use to defeat Hillary. NO other republican candidate can say he voted against the war, the military comissions act, or the war in Iraq. He WILL destroy her on every issue from the war, personal liberties, and big government programs that are bankrupting the country.

Do not fear a non-interventionist foreign policy. It makes sense and will save us and our grandchildren from years of enslavement to pay the interest on the debt we are running up at a blinding pace.

The world will be safer with Israel able to act on it’s own to defend itself, with a united Korean peninsula, and a new respect for us from countless leaders in foreign countries. They will be more willing to work with us rather than obstruct us when they are confident that we will not torture people and violate every principe that free people cherish.

Ron Paul is NOT a wimp, he voted to invade Afghanistan in persuit of Bin Laden, but now objects to the fact that we have more or less dropped the ball, gone into nation building, and have failed to get the real bad guys becasuse we are in the wrong countries standing in the middle of a religious war that has been going on for centuries.

Ron Paul will persue terrorists, but in a different manner. We can get the bad guys by using a network of law enforcement, intelligence, and targeted strikes, rather than bombing and then rebuilding entire nations.

THAT is the conservative way to do it, low cost, friendly relations, trade, and FOCUS. Do not let the media decide for you, read the man’s own words at http://www.ronpaul2008.com

I have put together a website to layout all of the evidence that Ron Paul is clearly doing much better than the national polls indicate. Ron Paul dominates in Straw Polls, Debate Polls, Fund Raising, Web Traffic and Grass Root Networking.

Please visit http://www.thecaseforronpaul.com and judge for yourself.

Its good to see people taking control, there is hope yet for this country.

The Dec. 16th Boston Tea Party money bomb will dwarf this one — I bet we get $10 mil from it.

There are smaller ones planned in-between, the next one is Nov 11th, Veterans’ Day.

What the main stream media doesn’t get yet, is that they are a joke and other than independent news cast, are watched just to see if they are going to lie some more. The real media is the internet and Ron Paul was picked up by the true media and has it’s full support. Other’s have tried and failed.

LOL — see, we ARE real. Call us RonBots if you like, but we’re not going away. See if we don’t stick around and challenge the Bushites for the future of the Republican Party.
