this_file_new

This function tests whether a single file has a modification date equal to
the system date. Useful when repeatedly running code with a lengthy download
stage. Many state databases are updated daily, so new data can be helpful but
not always necessary. Set this function in an <code>if</code> statement.

Explore and normalize American campaign finance
data. Created by the Investigative Reporting Workshop to facilitate
work on The Accountability Project, an effort to collect public data
into a central, standard database that is more easily searched:
