An election watchdog group is asking for an investigation into Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe over what it says are serious campaign finance violations.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the National Legal and Policy Center has asked the Federal Election Commission to “promptly” look into whether McAuliffe violated federal law when he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from a US. subsidiary of a foreign-owned company.
The Democrat in July reportedly received $350,000 from a New Jersey company called LycaTel, a subsidiary of an international corporation based in the U.K.
LycaTel is owned by a Sri Lankan and British national named Allirajah Subaskaran.
“Terry McAuliffe has a history of accepting foreign contributions. The FEC must fully investigate these serious charges that he accepted $350,000 in illegal foreign contributions for his current campaign,” NLPC lawyer Paul Kamenar said.
While a U.S.-based subsidiary can donate money to candidates, concerns arise when an international parent company could benefit from the election of a particular candidate.
“This is effectively a really easy way to launder foreign money into the U.S. political process and to avoid the FEC prohibition on foreign nationals making contributions in U.S. elections,” said Ben Freeman, director of the Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative at the Center for International Polic

Nobody cares. Focus on the parents.
This was sort of the Soros plan. He knew that the Republicans first thought was not to cheat.
NOTHING
The simple fact that they got away with this and spread it around the country show me that the Stupid Party, with 4 years to get ready for this, did nothing. And now we have a decrepit fool in our White House being run by Susan Rice, Obammy, the nutbar Squad, and every other deviant imaginable.
In Ohio, for instance, if Sherod Brown (D) is losing in any precinct or county, all he has to do is prepare way ahead of time (and they've probably already done it) to print, fill out, and submit any and all ballots he needs in any county and precinct. And he will.
Sorry, Charlie, I really can't believe that there's any reason to leave my house to vote anymore.
I agree. They disgust me. They have no solutions or anything constructive to offer. They just whine like spoiled kids, soiling the air around them while convincing themselves they’re taking some moral high road.
“The Fairfax vote will come in late and put Terry McClinton over the top around 1:30 AM.”
Every time...
I know more and more people going the expat route.
All are conservative. With families. I doubt they are coming back.
OK. So let me get this straight, those who refuse to participate in a sham political system are cowards? That’s an interesting point of view. I don’t share it though. I view it much the opposite, although I find myself less and less willing to call people names. I like to think that most voters are just misguided. They don’t realize that the point of voting isn’t to pick political leadership. No, The point of voting is to keep the population under control. And giving the devils their due, it’s a pretty effective strategy.
You do have a good point, though. A lot of nonvoters are real debbie downers. Which is a shame as I’ve found that the apolitical life is a much happier one. FRegards, RD
Youngkin will win on Election Day.
McAuliffe will, in a surprising turnaround just like the one seen in the 2020 Presidential Election, win several days later.

Wow EEE. I don’t recall you being part of the abstention faction. I guess some things HAVE changed at FR in the past few years. Hope this finds you well. FRegards. RD
Hey CV, hope this finds you well. I quit voting after 2016. At least I ended on a high note. All in all its been a positive change. Once voting and politics are off the table, it sort of forces you to look at other, more useful ways to spend your time. In my case, I think it also made me freer.
It’s been too late to vote ourselves out of anything since, oh, the late 19th century.
No politician, no judge, and no ballot are going to give you freedom. The only person who can give you liberty is the one staring back at you in the mirror.
You make a good point. It’s incumbent on those who refuse to follow the prevailing strategy to suggest and implement a better one.
I don’t vote. I haven’t since 2016. I highly doubt I’ll vote again. If your objective is freedom, I view the ballot as being largely useless.
To paraphrase Andrew Breitbart (RIP), politics is downstream of culture. If we really want to change how things work, we have to work on the culture first. None of what I suggest is all that sexy, but I think it is effective.
First, I’m working on building my influence among those who I can most affect and matter most to me; my circle of friends, neighbors, and family.
Second, I’m living prudently and acting to improve my resilience. Let’s not forget that the evil use privation and terror as their tools.
Third, I’m voting with my pocketbook and most recently, with my feet.
Action helps and it certainly has improved my outlook.
FRegards, RD.
That is a possibility, but I'd say that many have read another Book; one that states what happens to nations that continue to sin and do not repent.
I'm sure there are more than 60 million little voices that never got to be heard, or watch TV or read, that may have a different take on it.
There is an old, ancient document that states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll BLOW your house down!
Then we'll Build Back Better!
Terry has been dirty for decades and was a bundler for Bill.
Too late. 110% of “voters” already voted by Mail.
I sadly agree with you. Fraud will now be routinely open, feckless, and jeering. “Yeah, we cheated. What are you going to do about it?”
