Bloomberg BNA:

The Federal Election Commission apparently has struggled for nearly four years to decide what to do about allegations that millions of dollars in contributions to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign super PAC violated rules against making contributions under another name.

Paul S. Ryan, an attorney with the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center (CLC), helped draft three FEC complaints filed in August 2011 involving the super PAC supporting Romney, who became the Republican nominee in 2012. The Romney super PAC was known as Restore Our Future.

The complaints were filed by CLC and Democracy 21, another nonprofit that supports strong campaign finance regulation.

Ryan told Bloomberg BNA that these three complaints appeared to match the three oldest pending enforcement matters listed on a memorandum and chart presented by FEC Commissioner Steven Walther July 16 and detailing the FEC’s current enforcement backlog (4053 Money & Politics Report, 7/17/15).
