  20% went to Republicans

I think that source has issues. The percentages total up to 135% for Santa Clara County. I'm 112% sure that has an error.

For Santa Clara county

Total donations: $59,683,708 Democrat donations: $28,362,650 (47% of Total) Republican donations: $7,613,361 (13% of Total)

It is weird that the percentage column reports 75% and 20% instead of 47% and 13% respectively but that exactly accounts for the extra 35%.
