Detected on https://www.chrisrabb.com/media  · classifier confidence 0.95 · model fireworks/deepseek-v4-flash

The page contains explicit directives for segmented audiences (Black voters, voters under 45, specific wards) with timing (week 1, weeks 3-end) and channel cues (on the go, broadcast), along with links to ad assets. This is classic red-box guidance intended for an outside group to execute paid media, not voter-facing persuasion or a standard press kit.

Schedule E is corroboration, not the trigger — a filed expenditure is late evidence, and our detection timestamp reflects when we crawled, which can lag the actual posting. Supporting IE dated on or after our detection day: $0. Dates are FEC expenditure dates.
