Election Watch, an oversight group, is spearheading the complaint with the FEC, citing substantial discrepancies and potential fraud in the donations processed by ActBlue. The complaint will be filed with the FEC, followed by a mandatory 120-day waiting period, and subsequently, a lawsuit will be filed in the Northern District of Virginia. The lawsuit aims to present evidence indicating that a majority of the funds are originating from China.
ActBlue has been accused of distributing large sums to various political action committees (PACs), including Emily’s List and Color of Change PAC. According to Election Watch, their findings were derived from tracing internet traffic patterns, revealing the origins and destinations of these transactions.
Detailed financial records from the FEC show substantial amounts of money processed by financial institutions like Amalgamated Bank’s Washington DC branch and debit card processor Dibby, based in Utah. The transactions allegedly involve significant sums routed through these financial processors, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the donations.
O’Keefe’s team emphasizes the role of citizen journalists in uncovering further details of this alleged scheme. The investigation continues, with hopes that additional scrutiny will provide answers to the unresolved questions surrounding these financial activities.
