Excerpt:
In a press release, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced troubling findings in his office’s investigation into left-wing fundraising arm ActBlue. Several states have opened investigations into ActBlue after James O’Keefe and other independent investigators uncovered highly questionable donations across the country.
On Monday, Paxton announced that he will sent a Petition for Rulemaking to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) “detailing how suspicious actors appear to be using ActBlue’s political fundraising platform to make a large number of straw political donations.”
In December 2023, Paxton opened an investigation after a number of reporters uncovered dozens of highly suspicious donations. Investigative researcher Parker Thayer, who works with the Capital Research Center, shared a screenshot showing tens-of-thousands of donations allegedly sent by the same Michigan individual.
“A single donor in the small town of Monroe has supposedly donated over 20,000 times since 2019, totaling >$40,000,” Thayer wrote. “They live in a 1,000 sqft house built in 1956.”
“There are dozens more donors like the examples above, and there are two explanations,” Thayer wrote. “1. [ActBlue] is preying on seniors with poor memory by repeatedly sending them requests to sign up for stacking monthly contributions. 2. Some sort of straw-donor scheme is happening.”
