Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued ActBlue on Monday, alleging “rampant donor fraud” on the Democratic fundraising platform. The lawsuit, filed in Tarrant County Court, is seeking more than $1 million in monetary relief and points to a bombshell New York Times report on ActBlue that led Republican committee chairmen to claim the platform provided misleading statements about its fraud vetting. “Among other misrepresentations, despite knowing—and representing to regulators—that resuming its acceptance of gift cards would open the door to election influence ‘from high-risk/sanctioned countries’ and enable foreign nationals and other ineligible persons to make unlawful contributions to federal and state candidates, ActBlue went back to accepting them,” the 30-page filing stated.
