SC attorney general says Democratic donor platform ActBlue may have broken rules

COLUMBIA — South Carolina’s attorney general is questioning whether a major fundraising platform for Democrats committed fraud. State Democratic leaders and a representative of the platform contend the allegations are nonsense.

The allegations are outlined in a letter released Monday from Attorney General Alan Wilson to the CEO of Massachusetts-based ActBlue — a platform that processes donations to Democratic campaigns. ActBlue acts as a pass-through, sending donations made online to candidates in exchange for a percentage fee.
