Filter improvement request: provide option to search for non-state "states" #4621

Closed fec-issue-bot closed 5 years ago

What were you trying to do and how can we improve it?

I want to sort both contributions and disbursement by state, but I can't. Using the find function requires going through every state individually.

More importantly, the find by state functions don't include addresses from outside the United States (which used to be designated "ZZ" as the state). These functions are critical to be able to locate foreign contributions and spending.

Tell us about yourself

I'm lawyer interested in campaign finance data and reform.

This filter improvement would not be on the page referenced in the feedback issue, https://www.fec.gov/data/elections/.

The filter improvement would be on the raising and spending data pages.
