It runs on for more than 1,000 pages.<\/p>\n<p>This is the fifth time Sanders has been put on notice, and each time, the list of flagged contributions has grown. In February, the FEC\u2019s letter was just 95 pages long. By April, it had hit 650 pages, and the FEC\u2019s letter for May\u2014which was also filed Sunday, a bit late\u2014reached 778. While it\u2019s hard to pin down exactly how much money Sanders might have to return, a rough calculation\u2014the total amount donated by the cited contributors minus the legal limit for each\u2014indicates it could be in the neighborhood of $500,000, a relatively small sum for a campaign that\u2019s raised nearly $230 million.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2016\/07\/bernie-sanders-is-still-making-too-much-money\/490832\/\">Read more<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[pe2-image src=&#8221;https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-E41-Tucabz4\/V5WNx4ztbNI\/AAAAAAAABhk\/SfiK1HQa95Yw50pA5v8-nGS6eyG-jBmjgCHM\/s144-c-o\/20160711_1800%2BBernie%2BSanders%2BIs%2BStill%2BRaising%2BToo%2BMuch%2BMoney%2B%2528atlantic%2529.jpg&#8221; href=&#8221;https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/102930737536139888016\/6310995263751548657#6311106341031996626&#8243; caption=&#8221;Bernie Sanders Is Still Raising Too Much Money By Andrew McGill, The Atlantic (July 11, 2016 06:00 p.m.) &#8212; It appears Bernie Sanders, he of the famed $27 donation, is still struggling to rein in over-eager donors.
