SENATE DEMOCRATIC FEC VIOLATION

Jim Martin has received a written notice from the FEC warning him of his campaign's failures to disclose financial contributions in their mid year reports.

The report, due 6/25, was not submitted to the Federal Election Commission.

Jim had embarrassing numbers in his fundraising and wanted to wait until after the primary to disclose his failures. It wouldn't look good to limp into and out of a primary with little cash-on-hand and total raised money.

Meanwhile, Senator Chambliss has disclosed that he raised over $800,000 in the same period, receiving no FEC violations.

This isn't the first we've heard of violations from Jim and it probably won't be the last.

Update: The rumor is also that Jim Martin is in the midst of a cover up. He said in his last debate he got less than 3% of his money from PACs but now it appears as though the numbers will say otherwise! So he'll eat the FEC fine and continue about his merry way. Jim Martin would rather break the law than come clean.
