The Campaign Legal Center’s Paul Ryan recently charged that the FEC stooped “to a new low” because the agency failed to hound a mysterious robocaller who allegedly spoke to voters without a disclaimer and perhaps failed to report the spending in an uncompetitive Republican Party primary. Ryan based these charges on Commissioner Ellen Weintraub’s four page legal analysis of the case.
We don’t know the reasons why the GOP Commissioners did not vote to pursue the matter. It could be that they simply decided it wasn’t worth it.
