Related: About this forumAZ Senator McSally hit with yet another fine for another election law violation
An investigation by the Federal Election Commission found Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) violated election law by not properly reporting more than $50,000 in campaign donations, according to a Feb. 11 letter from the FEC to the McSally campaign.
During her 2014 House reelection campaign, McSally failed to report $54,300 in campaign contributions in the required 48-hour window near the end of the campaign. As a result, the FEC levied a $5,028 fine, which the McSally campaign paid in March 2019.
This violation is not the first run-in the McSally team has had with the FEC.
In June, the AP reported the FEC levied a $23,000 fine against the McSally campaign for a separate election law violation.
The McSally campaign was slapped with that fine because it accepted more than $315,000 in campaign contributions beyond the limit allowed by law. Further, the campaign failed to properly disclose $33,000 in contributions from political action committees.

Until campaign finance law is reformed to make violations truly hurt, Rethuglicans will continue to do this...over and over and over and over and over...because, hey, It's profitable!
