Blue Laundry

AG's investigate ActBlue:
Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey all announced on August 1 that their offices were investigating suspicious donations made to ActBlue. This is not the first time allegations of criminal behavior have been made against the platform. Last July, Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) demanded that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigate some of the hundreds of thousands of suspicious small donations made through ActBlue since 2016. Miyeres sent a demand letter to ActBlue over accusations of campaign money laundering that could threaten to interfere with the integrity of the 2024 November elections. "My office has become aware of multiple serious allegations that ActBlue... [has] engaged in fraudulent, deceptive, and/or otherwise illegal activities in the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or have aided and abetted others in doing so," wrote Miyeres. "This includes hundreds of thousands of dollars of contributions through individual donors in the Commonwealth in volumes that are facially implausible and appear suspicious." Several individual donors residing in the state suspiciously made thousands of dollars in multiple campaign contributions per day over the past several years, including senior citizens who listed their occupations as “not employed” or “retired," Others had addresses that were considered suspect. "Taken together, these circumstances appear to indicate that contributions via ActBlue are being made from fictional donors or dummy accounts, or that information reported by or through ActBlue may be fraudulent," he added.
Blue money is bad money...
