Transaction dates after filing dates?

RylanSchaeffer opened this issue · comments

Some values of raw_senators_tx['file_date'] - raw_senators_tx['tx_date'] are negative. Is this a flaw with parsing or with the data?

This shows that many postings are well after 45 days. Any idea why this is?

Hi @RylanSchaeffer, that's a good question. Could you post a few of the transactions with erroneous dates? Maybe we can look into the filing to see why it was parsed that way.
