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

The Fairfax vote will come in late and put Terry McClinton over the top around 1:30 AM.
What jurisdiction does a federal election commission have over eight Virginia state governors election?
Nothing matters till he concedes.
The machine counts the votes
You are addressing one of the number one trolls in the place.
If that’s the case, the local citizens need to get off their behinds and shut that down. Otherwise, they must be OK with it.
Oh puhleeeeze. The more corrupt the democrat the more they love them.
It’s to late to vote ourselves out of anything. The sooner people realize this, the better. Unfortunately, I think it’s too late for our side. Collectively we are nice, polite and respect the rules and that was our demise. FIGHT BACK!
Like the Jews in Germany under Hitler...
Fairfax already announced they will report early/absentee vote first, rather than last. It’s the direct opposite of 2020.
We will see. I expect the steal.
Never. Going. To. Happen.
And if it means winning and more power, they won’t even care if it’s “wrong”.
the absentee ballots that weren’t completed properly while still being counted...
Thanks, I hadn’t heard about this.
It’s beyond the fact that he’s homosexual. The site has posted far too many half-truths or outright fabrications in a very click bait fashion for me to take anything that they post seriously.
I have the same problem with Jack Posobeic. He’s flat out fabricated numerous things and then never owns the fact that he lied.
If GP corrected themselves and didn’t post so many over-the-top headlines that rarely match the story and were clearly designed for posting on social
media, Id have less of a problem with them.
Moreover, I don’t trust people who degrade the institution of marriage by playing pretend with what marriage is to be truthful about anything else either.
98% of his voters won’t understand that doing illegal stuff is wrong.
LOL. Sad but true.
They only care when Republicans do that.
Nothing to see here....move along.
It won’t matter because most of McAuliffe’s votes have already been cast, both legal votes plus tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in ballots.
“Rain or shine, I will be at my local voting station, bet.”
See you there, FRiend

Took my 98 yo (almost 99!) dad to vote early in-person Wednesday. The ladies brought his ballot to the car so he could fill it out & I followed them back inside to watch them ‘vote’ it.
For those who think their vote doesn’t matter any more, vote anyway as an ‘Act of Rebellion’. I’m not at the point where I think all is lost ... yet.
He could go streaking though a high school prom and it would be considered cool because he has a “D” after his name.
