Nevada GOP files FEC complaint against California group for alleged election interference

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Nevada GOP has filed a complaint with the FEC against a California group over allegations of election interference.

The NVGOP alleges that Manny’s LLC illegally raises funds in violation of federal law to interfere with Nevada’s elections.

The complaint alleges in part that they “appear to be unlawfully engaged in political activities as an unregistered political committee, failing to comply with federal registration and reporting requirements, and accepting contributions from unauthorized federal sources and exceeding federal campaign contribution limits.” , and consistently failing to comply with federal disclaimer requirements.

They say Manny Yekutiel and Manny’s LLC of San Franscisco raised money through a GoFundMe account to deploy people to Nevada for election campaigning and ballot harvesting on behalf of the Harris-Walz campaign.

They further allege that the LLC directed donors to register and attend official Harris-Walz campaign events and fundraisers, while failing to comply with federal campaign finance laws.

“There is no room for the actions of disjointed California liberal groups illegally fundraising to deploy resources in the Silver State on behalf of Kamala Harris for president. This group’s blatant violation of campaign finance law demonstrates how far Democrats are willing to go to try to secure their ticket to the swing state of Nevada. The Nevada Republican Party will not stand idly by while outside interest groups attempt to infiltrate our state and exploit Nevada voters,” said Jim DeGraffenreid, National Committeeman for the Nevada Republican Party.
