Despite Silicon Valley's reputation for liberal politics, much of the money spent this election is going to the Republican party, thanks to a few out-sized million dollar donations (many of which were for candidates that have already dropped out of the race).
Many tech bigwigs are in Hillary Clinton's corner, but they haven't put as much money behind her yet. Compared to the $3.5 million that Silicon Valley gave to President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign, donations to Clinton have totaled just $1.3 million so far, according to data from the International Business Times.
Here's who is "feeling the Bern" for Bernie Sanders, who put millions behind Rand Paul's unsuccessful run, and how many tech figures have stood behind Hillary.
