Nevada Election Chief Questions Rory Reid on 90 Campaign Accounts With Same Address

Published March 14, 2011 | FoxNews.com

Rory Reid, who failed a gubernatorial bid in Nevada last November, is taking heat for allegedly creating dozens of campaign accounts to get around contribution limits -- a scheme the top state election official said could run afoul of the law.

Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller has sent a letter to Reid, the son of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and his advisers "in regard to potential violations" of state election law, pressing them to fork over records accounting for how the Reid campaign handled and distributed donations. The red flag for Miller was the fact Reid set up 90 political action committees all registered at the same Las Vegas address.

Miller warned that the information Reid supplies "may be used against you in an administrative, civil or criminal proceeding."

The stern warning follows an investigative report by Las Vegas Sun reporter Jon Ralston, who found Reid guided $750,000 through the mini-PACs into his campaign account.

"a scheme the top state election official said could run afoul of the law . . ."

. . . if you happen to be a Republican.

Since Reid isn't a Republican, he has nothing to worry about.

"Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain,"

" and I personally guarantee, the Republicans won't even wanna come out of their caves. "

In states outside Nevada the common legal term is: “Money Laundering.”
