I've been getting some feedback from Will Raymond and Matt Pohlman on my story, "Most missed filing deadlines."
The story said only Laurin Easthom managed to file her special pre-election report by the Oct. 29 deadline but that Pohlman and Matt Czajkowski postmarked theirs by the deadline and that Raymond's was a day late because of a Board of Elections software error.
Pohlman called to clarify that he did fax his report, along with mailing it, on Oct. 29. The BOE Web site has no record of the fax, but I have left them a message asking them to confirm (I've also asked whether any other candidates might have faxed, just in case). The fax means that both Pohlman's and Easthom's reports were available to the public on Oct. 29. Pohlman said he was proud of hitting every campaign-finance deadline.
Writing here on OrangeChat Raymond said even though his special pre-election report wasn't available at the BOE Web site on Oct. 29, he did post it on his own Web site.

I love this post. I think I've read the report through link provided by commenter above (CitizenWill) and that great report. I got something to think about after read them. Quiet interesting, and thanks for sharing though.

Thank you Jesse for the clarifications....
Wed, 11/18/2009 - 14:24 — CitizenWillThank you Jesse for the clarifications. One last comment on the process. If you submit your report electronically it isn't considered "official" until the SBOE gets signed cover sheets in the mail.
We had two extra reports this cycle, both with fairly short turnarounds:
SPECIAL PRE-ELECTION REPORT DUE OCTOBER 29,2009
(COVERS ACTIVITY FROM OCTOBER 20, 2009 THROUGH
OCTOBER 28, 2009)
POST-ELECTION DAY REPORT DUE NOVEMBER 19, 2009
(COVERS ACTIVITY FROM OCTOBER 29, 2009 THROUGH
NOVEMBER 17, 2009)
That second report is due tomorrow (with the cover sheets post-marked by midnight).
Latest reports will be on my website
