While the biggest spender overall is a Democratic-aligned Super PAC, the Senate Majority PAC at $29,083,280, the report found that outside spending in favor of Republicans is much more likely to be dark money, which thus far make up 80 percent of nonparty outside expenditures.

This election season, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is coming out ahead—as the number one dark money spender of 2014, watchdog Public Citizen revealed in a report released Wednesday.

"In a record year for dark money expenditures, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is leading the way," reads the report, entitled The Dark Side of Citizens United, which is based on data from the Center for Responsive Politics analyzed by Public Citizen's U.S. Chamber Watch. "The waves of non-disclosed money flooding elections threaten to disempower and discourage voters, making government less transparent and less accountable."
