An 'analysis' spanning 25 years AND saying Kochs are 59th on list of top donors? REALLY? LOL
The Koch network consists almost entirely of groups that don't register under the campaign finance laws and so don't publicly identify their donors. "So much of their funding and operations are conducted in secret that we really don't know who else is behind this,"
...the
nearly $1 billion the Koch network, with its 17 allied organizations,
are planning to spend (2016) eclipses the combined $723 million spent by the Democratic and Republican National Committees in the 2012 presidential race - and it is also about double the $400 million the Koch-affiliated groups spent in the 2012

According to Open Secrets, Republicans had a larger share of the billionaires -- and their contributions to outside spending groups -- in the 2012 election cycle. Among the top 100 donors in the Open Secrets list, 33 were billionaires, and of those, 14 gave primarily to liberal groups while 19 gave to conservative groups.
In addition, the top 100 donors of 2012 gave 41 percent of all the money collected by outside spending groups, and of their donations,
71 percent went to conservative groups.

..Republicans tend to donate to and use non-disclosing groups more than Democrats do, said Center for Responsive Politics spokeswoman Viveca Novak.
Conservative political nonprofits spent almost five times as much as liberal ones in 2012, according to Open Secrets data. So far in 2014, they have spent almost twice as much.
