I really like the summary number on the 2016 presidential election. Can we link the summary number to the detail data page?

To do: figure out where each number should link to (form type) then where each should direct. @LindsayYoung to maybe think about it if she has time

The disbursements and expenditures for the presidential race should link to new presidential reports:

https://fec-proxy.18f.gov/data/filings/?min_receipt_date=01-01-2015&max_receipt_date=12-31-2016&amendment_indicator=N&form_type=F3P

IEs link is trickier. We need to incorporate all the places where the IE summaries can be reported, so it should be limited to the new F5 and 3x forms.

https://fec-proxy.18f.gov/data/filings/?min_receipt_date=01-01-2015&max_receipt_date=12-31-2016&amendment_indicator=N&form_type=F3X&form_type=F5

Does that sound right to you, @PaulClark2?

The F3P link seems right to me. I'm not sure the IE link is helpful because it doesn't take you to IEs made for or against presidential candidates. It takes you to F3X an F5 filings.

Adding links to forms that have the relevant information
023a1a2 
for the Presidential and independent expenditure totals.

We don't show the IE spending on that page anymore, but
There isn't a better way to explain where we get that
number. Not having a link for it might imply that the
presidential link would give the information, which it
doesn't.

We could improve this in the future, when we have a
view for IEs.
