A nonprofit founded by perennial candidate Stacey Abrams has settled a complaint with the Georgia Ethics Commission and will pay $300,000 to the state for illegally spending millions to bolster Abrams’ gubernatorial bid in 2018.

According to the consent order, which was made public on Wednesday following the ethics commission’s vote to approve it, the New Georgia Project and its fundraising arm, the New Georgia Project Action Fund, failed to disclose roughly $4.2 million in contributions and $3.2 million in expenditures that were used mostly to support Abrams during the 2018 primary and general election.

The order details 16 violations of state law, including the group’s failure to register as a political committee, failure to file a number of required disclosure reports, and failure to disclose millions of dollars in political contributions and expenditures. By agreeing to the consent order and by paying the $300,000 penalty, the New Georgia Project admits it broke the law, according to the order.

David Emadi, executive director of Georgia’s ethics commission, said in a statement that the fine is the largest ever imposed by the commission and may be the largest fine by a state ethics board in a campaign finance case ever.

Does not matter. SCOTUS has said anyone running for office has sovereign immunity.

Aww. It rankles when one of your own is called out for corruption, doesn't it? So sorry.

NP. GMAFB, your party has a Ph.D in corruption and grift.
Call her out, be my guest. But start with your own house first. Then I MIGHT take you seriously.

That was the election when the Secretary of State Kemp administered the election and used voter suppression to elect himself governor.

It's funny how your guy never gets punished.

Are you joking? Democrats have perfected lawfare against Trump. You must be really proud.

Oh, hon. "Anyone"? No. Presidents and former presidents - that's it. My god.

This thread is about Stacey Abrams. You don't like it? Move along to one of your hundreds of other threads. You won't be missed.

Oh, yay - Occupy Democrats is in the house. Educate yourself, you dope. Everything seems to keep coming back to Stacey Abrams and her New Georgia Project. How surprising! Absolutely NO ONE was prevented from voting.

Stacey Abrams – through the New Georgia Project -- created this ‘problem’ by submitting tens and thousands of problematic voter registration forms -- just like she did in 2014. Now, she is using the media to generate buzz for her campaign and ultimately turn out voters on Election Day.

Kemp's campaign told us that the New Georgia Project refuses to use online voter registration, instead insisting on paper forms. According to the campaign, all 53,000 pending registrations were submitted with the assistance of the New Georgia Project, and all of them ran afoul of the "exact match" rule. (We asked the New Georgia Project and the Abrams campaign for their responses to these and other claims but we did not receive a response from either.)

Kemp's spokesperson emphasized that the 53,000 would-be voters whose registrations were pending could still show up at a polling station on election day and vote as normal:

If you are on the pending list, you literally vote exactly the same way that every other person in Georgia that's not on the pending list votes. In Georgia, you present your Photo ID at the polling precinct. It's scanned. If you are on the pending list, this action moves you from pending to active. If you are already active, it re-affirms you are active.

Stacey is a lot like Pam Bondi and Ted Bundy. Easy on the eyes but hard on the moral compass.

What an absolute insane comment. How long did it take you to dream that one up?

First, putting either one of these women in the same sentence with Ted Bundy shows you lack the ability to create a meaningful simile.
Secondly, comparing Stacey Abrams, whose "project" was just heavily fined because of illegal activity, to Pam Bondi, who is quite accomplished as an attorney and the current nominee for AG further shows you lack knowledge about the backgrounds of these women.

Try harder to find a snarky way to slam a Republican in a thread about a corrupt Democrat.

Such as Clarence Thomas?

Just because the other side did something corrupt, doesn't mean it's okay when our side does.

That said, I've long since lost faith in politicians. They're all like this. Every time you think this one is different, you find out they're as bad as the rest.

Reminds me of the corruption among BLM higher-ups. So surprising!

Didn’t 2 of the 3 mansions owned by the BLM “leader” burn down in CA?

Talk about real grifters.

Exactly.

Criminal Stacey still needs to be held accountable.

🚨The liberal media won’t touch this story - but yesterday, Stacey Abrams’ “voter mobilization” group closed its doors in Georgia for good.

Much like the Marxist organization BLM Inc., it was exposed for illegal activity, went bankrupt, and collapsed under the weight of its own grift.

Though it had little relevance in recent years, Georgia can finally close the chapter on false “voter suppression” claims - and focus on delivering strong election integrity laws for law-abiding Americans.
