GOP House investigates Dem fund raising

 The Federalist Wire:

...

In a significant move, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee has intensified its scrutiny of ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform.

...

“Federal law prohibits contributions made in the name of another person, and for good reason,” Comer wrote, pointing to the legal implications of failing to properly vet donations made through online platforms.

He emphasized that the committee is concerned about the possibility that online fundraising platforms have made it easier for bad actors to exploit federal campaign finance laws through fraudulent contributions.
...

“In Virginia, reports of contribution activity facilitated through the ActBlue platform included ‘some cases in which single donors made tens of thousands of separate donations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars,’” Comer said, while citing a report from the Washington Examiner.

The attorneys general of Missouri, Wyoming, and Texas have also taken action, investigating “dummy” accounts linked to suspicious donations.

One major vulnerability of ActBlue, which critics argue opened the door to fraud, is the platform’s previous lack of a requirement for Card Verification Value (CVV) codes for online credit or debit card transactions.

While ActBlue has since reversed this policy, the absence of this safeguard may have allowed foreign nationals and others using prepaid debit cards or gift cards to contribute funds illegally — a clear violation of federal law.

I can think of no logical reason why a single donor would make tens of thousands of separate donations.  An investigation of these donations should be able to trace those responsible for doing it.
