The part that I don't buy is that this is the way that campaign finance violations would ordinarily be handled. Would an election that was won by one of the mainstream parties be completely overturned and rerun if it were found that they violated some campaign procedure laws? I doubt it.
- cbg0 2y agoThis isn't a few forgotten expenditures, this is a candidate which reported no spending on their campaign and which allegedly had support from a foreign state. You can get away with some things, but we're not just talking about a technicality.
- Wytwwww 2y agoWhy did they wait for the elections to do anything about that, though? Or do candidates only have to report their spending after the voting is done?
- cbg0 2y agoFrom what I know the law says that they have up to 15 days after the election to submit their finance report, which is what allowed this to slip by undetected.
