McCann's name missing from live rosters for both Redbird and Hulsen, but present in CSV
Recorded status: Verified live-versus-export mismatch; software cause inferred, not established
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
A controlled crosscheck found the same live roster problem with two different payees. In Redbird's $9,000 May 1 entry (383994), public detail lists 16 roster rows: 15 named candidates plus a blank-name/blank-office Support row. The preserved CSV lists 16 names including Lori Ann McCann at $529.41, with McCann's office blank. In Hulsen's $77,194 April 30 entry (383322), public detail lists nine rows: eight named candidates plus a blank-name/blank-office Support row. Its CSV lists nine names including Lori Ann McCann at $8,577.11, also with blank office. All other names match in each comparison. This pattern is consistent with a candidate record/display linkage problem affecting McCann, rather than proof of an undisclosed beneficiary or Redbird-specific concealment. Underlying database identifiers and software root cause were not inspected. McCann's allocation is already included in the 16-row $8,470.56 sum for 383994, so resolving her displayed name does NOT close that separate $529.44 gap. Hulsen's nine exported allocations total $77,193.99, a one-cent rounding difference. Do not erase McCann from candidate counts because the live detail leaves her name blank.
