Why have Jim Gilmore and Mike Gravel stopped reporting to FEC?
(I posted this in GDP but didn’t get an answer. I hope it gets a better reception here.)

I was going over all the FEC reports today and noticed that Jim Gilmore and Mike Gravel have not submitted a FEC report since last year. But, unlike Tommy Thompson and Sam Brownback they have not submitted “Termination Reports” either. What is going on?

Also, why are there no FEC reports for 3rd party candidates like Bob Barr and Cynthia McKinney?

2. I don't know why specifically for the individuals you indicated
but any candidate who does not collect $5,000 in the quarter does not have to file a FEC report.

Perhaps that is why?

3. OUCH!
Though I'm sure that they did pass that threshold. Maybe they're having their donors directly fund 527s so that they don't have the donation cap of $2300.
