Editor's Note: The attached database has been updated since this story originally ran in September. The figures in the story have also been updated.
In Republican-heavy Strongsville, President Barack Obama's campaign has gotten more contributions than Mitt Romney's.
But the contributons to the Republican presidential campaign have been larger.
So far, 134 donations have been made to the Obama campaign, while only 37 have been made to Romney's.
Of those 37, 28 were over $100. And six of the Romney gifts were over $1,000.
No one has donated more than $1,000 to Obama's campaign, and 24 have given over $100.
But it appears many of the contributors have made multiple smaller donations that total more than $100.
One woman, Priscilla Shuster, has made more than 40 separate contributions to the Democratic campaign -- many for $3 or $5 -- that total more than $500.
Both candidates have repeat contributors.
Patch has created an interactive database so you can see how much your neighbors are donating to the presidential campaign—and to which candidate they’re writing their checks. We’ve included communities across Ohio, so if you want to see what the campaign contributions in North Royalton or Brecksville look like, go right ahead.
The information in the database was downloaded from the Federal Election Commission’s website. The data is based on quarterly reports, and is current through July. The data will be updated in mid-October.

No James every donation I made was to support President Obama and the middle class Americans who need his support. Oh...and to hopefully to get more Democrats to the polls to cancel out your vote!
