In Utah, if a candidate receives such a nomination at a convention, like Love did, then no primary is held. At no point prior to April's convention did Love face a primary challenger or the threat of one.

But Love raised $1,153,624 and designated that money for a primary, according to the letter from the FEC to Love. Even after Love secured the nomination at the convention, she raised an additional $372,468 specifically designated for the primary that her campaign knew would not take place.

Experts say the money raised is a serious violation of FEC rules.

"It's a big deal, it is a big deal," said Ann Ravel, who served as FEC Commissioner under President Barack Obama. "If you're raising primary funds and you have no primary, on its face, it does seem to be inappropriate and it's a lot of money."

Please scroll down to the facts that CNN omitted in its reporting.

That last sentence by the campaign’s “communications director” doesn’t even make sense. And if all that is true, why didn’t they respond to the reporters on the record for the article?

There's corruption amongst the donkeys, no doubt. But it seems to be in the name of defeating an already cheating side.

The GOP is cheating in the name of being a minority in power, whose goal seems to only be wealth and power at any cost.

U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s brother-in-law has won more than $7 million in military contracts in McCarthy’s district by claiming that he’s one-eighth Cherokee.

He is not Cherokee.
