A massive investigation into the Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue is expanding.

The investigation now encompasses 19 states as investigators want to know about the group’s security practices and probe whether or not the Democrats are cheating on election donations, Just The News reported.

The states attorneys general raised concerns about the site’s lackluster security that could allow donations in the names of people who did not donate in a letter last week to ActBlue CEO and President Regina Wallace-Jones.

“Recent reporting suggests that that [sic] there may be donors across the country who are identified in filings with the Federal Election Commission as having donated to candidates through ActBlue (and other affiliated entities), but who did not actually make those donations,” they said in the letter.

“That raises a host of concerns about whether ActBlue’s platform is being used to facilitate ‘smurfing’––a type of money laundering in which donors break up large donations and submit them under different names to disguise who the money comes from and thereby skirt contribution limits in violation of state and federal law,” the attorneys general said.

“Independent investigations have shown that there are donors across the country who show up on FEC filings as having donated to candidates through ActBlue (and other affiliated entities) but deny having made those donations. Given the prominent role it plays in our elections, it is incumbent on ActBlue to address the serious questions created by apparent irregularities in ActBlue’s FEC filings,” they said.

“ActBlue is one of the largest fundraising platforms for election-related donations. Already during the 2024 election cycle ActBlue has raised billions of dollars. But there are concerns about where those dollars came from. It is essential that we know whether political donations—particularly in such large volumes—are being solicited, made, and processed consistent with campaign finance, consumer protection, and other state and federal laws,” they said.

A spokesperson for ActBlue spoke to The Des Moines Register and said it has been a trusted fundraiser for two decades and follows the law.

“We rigorously protect donors’ information by maintaining a robust security program and strict fraud prevention measures — often beyond what is required by law,” they said. “We are aware of recent attempts to spread misinformation about our platform. Facts are essential so that voters and donors are not misled. For accurate information, please visit actblue.com.”
