Delicious! Republicans get fined for electoral malfeasance -
specifically, how they financed the recount in the governor's election. http://www.kare11.com/news/article/983002/396/MN-Republican-Party-former-director-fined-over-recount
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Campaign finance regulators have fined the Minnesota Republican Party, former chairman Tony Sutton and a separate corporation over the financing of recount in the 2010 governor's race.
The state Campaign Finance Board on Friday imposed fines of $26,900 for the party and $3,000 each for Sutton and Count Them All Properly Inc.
The latter is a corporation created to pay for the party's recount between Republican Tom Emmer and Democrat Mark Dayton.
The board's ruling also says Sutton could be open to criminal sanctions for redirecting a contribution, but only if a county attorney pursues the matter.
Heh.
