Kayla Gogarty at MMFA:
Amid Kamala Harris’ surging fundraising, right-wing media are alleging that Democratic PAC ActBlue is laundering money through a Virginia donor, claiming there were more than 22,000 donations listed for that individual, totaling over $800,000. But according to data from the Federal Election Commission, the alleged donor actually gave hundreds of thousands to WinRed and other Republican PACs. Regardless, the claim spread — including to former President Donald Trump — and right-wing media figures called on attorneys general to investigate. At least two Republican attorneys general have announced they are looking into it. After President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, fundraising for her campaign surged. Amid that surge, right-wing personalities accused ActBlue of engaging in a money laundering scheme.
As part of these accusations, some right-wing media figures and social media accounts amplified data from a website for a tax-exempt organization, Election Watch, reportedly founded by serial election denier Peter Bernegger, which provides “smurfing data by state.” (“Smurf” apparently refers to “an individual whose ID may have been used to launder money into political campaigns.”) Users can click on a state to see the so-called “smurf” donors, which are apparently identified by “numbers and patterns of transactions” in FEC data “that indeed appear to be highly questionable.”
Right-wing media have seemingly latched onto the first Virginia entry, which the website claims made 22,619 transactions, totaling $839,466. According to FEC data for an individual of the same name living in the same zip code (or at the affiliated address), that individual has made nearly 25,000 transactions since 2019, totaling more than $765,000. Nearly half of the transactions were with WinRed — totaling nearly $380,000. Additional hundreds of thousands went to other Republican PACs. Only four transactions were apparently made with ActBlue — totaling just $66. (Previously, Republican donors have reportedly been “steered … into unwitting donations,” unknowingly signing up for weekly recurring contributions when contributing through WinRed.)

07/29/24: Just over an hour after Trump made his post, Virginia’s Jason Miyares said his office was “looking into” the claims about ActBlue and money laundering. On social media, Miyares responded to Kirk and said, “My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it.” The same day, Dan Bishops — the Republican candidate for North Carolina AG — suggested he would take action against ActBlue on “January 1” after being elected. [Twitter/X, 7/29/24, 7/29/24]
07/30/24: Wyoming Republican Secretary of State Chuck Gray announced an “investigation into ActBlue,” citing “nationwide money laundering and identity theft allegations.” In a press release, which he posted on social media, Gray encouraged “any Wyoming citizen who has reason to believe a political action committee stole their identity or falsely reported a donation using their name” to report it to his office. [Wyoming Secretary of State media release, 7/30/24]
08/01/24: Right-wing activist James O’Keefe said he would “personally pay” $3,000 to people who confront potential “smurfs” in their neighborhoods. O’Keefe, the ousted founder of Project Veritas who is now trying to build up O’Keefe Media Group, posted on social media: “Uncover ActBlue Smurfs and get paid like our Citizen Journalists,” urging people to go to Election Watch’s site, “ choose your state, enter your zip code, and start investigating. Not comfortable going door-to-door? … Submit potential Smurfs and links to your FEC findings through our X DMs or Signal.” The post included a video showing how to use Bernegger’s Election Watch site and instructing people to “knock on these people’s doors,” tell them they “seem to be a victim of a money laundering scheme,” and get bank statements from them. [Rolling Stone, 6/20/24; Twitter/X, 8/1/24]
At least two states’ Republicans are conducting politically-motivated investigations against Democratic fundraising agent ActBlue, baselessly accusing them of “laundering money.”

Jefe electoral advierte sobre la amenaza de los 'Zuckbucks' en Wyoming
El jefe de elecciones de Wyoming está haciendo sonar la alarma de que un grupo de izquierda notable por sus travesuras electorales de 2020 está intentando influir en la contienda estatal de 2024, según se enteró The Federalist. En una carta del 2 de octubre enviada a los secretarios del condado y obtenida por The Federalist, el Secretario de Estado, Chuck Gray, advirtió que el Centro de…

"Please don't drop me."
Cute hcs!
-Chuck is smaller than Gray
-Though Chuck needs his wheelchair, he can sometimes walk without it, yet it's very tiring for him. That's why he uses gray as a physical support when he lacks crutches
-Gray can perfectly lift Chuck up.

Some gifs from the date night my partner and I had at our local Chuck E Cheese! Not gonna lie, it's the first time in years I've been to one because my mom once told me adults without kids weren't allowed in a Chuck E Cheese and for some reason I never doubted that lol
Feel free to use, but read the dni in my bio please!
