Ad campaign follows organization’s announcement of 60,000 leads in its initial investigation
The Fair Election Fund, a national election integrity watchdog group, today announced a $50,000 digital ad buy on its investigation into ActBlue and the Harris campaign for potential donor fraud. The ad will air digitally and reach voters in seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The 15 second ad says:
“If the Democrats’ fundraising numbers sound outrageous…unbelievable…it’s because they might be.
Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue has been accused of stealing our identities to conceal donations from bad actors.
If your identity was stolen or you know more, call us.”
The ad follows the Fair Election Fund’s initial investigation into ActBlue and the Biden-Harris campaign’s reported fundraising numbers. The probe found over 60,000 potential cases where individuals listed as small dollar donors on the Biden-Harris campaign’s recent FEC report did not recall making the donation that was listed in their name.
The Fair Election Fund has turned over the data to five Republican Attorneys General who will continue investigating ActBlue’s suspicious reporting and its compliance with state laws.
BACKGROUND
- The ActBlue investigation is just the latest in the Fair Election Fund’s efforts to expose fraud in our election system. In June, The Fund awarded $50,000 in bounties to whistleblowers with first-hand knowledge of voter fraud or election administration issues in Michigan, Connecticut, Georgia, and North Carolina.
- The organization has also spent over $375,000 on a paid media campaign in North Carolina targeting three Democrats on the North Carolina State Board of Elections who refused to certify ballot access for Cornel West’s presidential campaign.
The Fair Election Fund is a watchdog group that was formed in May and will spend over $5 million in 2024 to shine a light on fraud and abuse still occurring in our election system. Those who expose wrongdoing could be compensated from the Fair Election Fund’s whistleblower protection fund.
