FEC Fines Political Group From 2004 Race

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

An independent political group allied with Democrats has agreed to pay $775,000 in penalties to the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign laws during the 2004 presidential campaign.

The penalty, announced Wednesday, is the third largest fine ever levied by the FEC.

The group, America Coming Together, was an influential player in the 2004 election cycle, spending millions of dollars to mobilize voters in support of Democrats in key states.

The FEC found that ACT inappropriately used money raised outside federal election limits to help federal candidates. In a separate legal analysis, the FEC concluded that despite ACT's violations, the group did not coordinate its activities with the Democratic National Committee or the presidential campaign of Democratic nominee John Kerry. Such coordination is prohibited under federal law.
