Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has sent a letter to ActBlue demanding the group answer questions concerning election integrity on Friday. The letter is part of Miyares’ probe into the Democratic donation platform that has listed thousands of donations registered under names and identities that appear to be fraudulent. The attorney general starts off the letter by writing, “My office has become aware of multiple serious allegations that ActBlue, ActBlue Civics, Inc., and ActBlue Charities, Inc. have engaged in fraudulent, deceptive, and/or otherwise illegal activities in the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or have aided and abetted others in doing so.”

He then goes on to say, “This includes hundreds of thousands of dollars of contributions through individual donors in the Commonwealth in volumes that are facially implausible and appear suspicious. Some of these Virginia donors are reported as making multiple daily contributions over the course of multiple years, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars in aggregate.” Miyares reveals that a number of those listed as giving these large donations are senior citizens, who happen to list their occupation as “not employed” or “retired” and list addresses that look suspicious. The attorney general then says that this information indicates that some of the contributions made to ActBlue were made by “fictional” donors, also known as dummy accounts.

“AG Jason Miyares posted in response to Charlie Kirk flagging a donation anomaly in Virginia where a 79-year-old resident living in an apartment at $2,000 per month made 22,619 separate donations since 2019, totaling more than $800,000,” The Post Millennial reported.
My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it. https://t.co/BD13tYYtzH

“My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it,” the AG went on to say in a post on X. Kirk said in his original comment, “It’s trivially easy to find massive, repeated donations to ActBlue that use stolen identities and, quite possibly, stolen credit cards.” He then added, “For example, one person in Virginia has been named in 22,619 separate donations since 2019, totaling more than $800,000. Obviously, she’s being exploited for some kind of money-laundering operation. ActBlue raises from all fifty states. We have fifty state AGs. When will one of them take action?”

Kirk also shared a post on social media from NOVA Campaigns. That post revealed that Kerry Alberti, 79, was making donations to the tune of thousands of dollars every year. NOVA called the donations “Utter fraud [ID theft] via ActBlue.” The Democrat group has been the target of a number of investigations carried out by the O’Keefe Media Group. Many of these investigations involved people on fixed incomes having their names put on thousands of donations they could not have afforded to make, all of the money going toward Democrats. ActBlue has stated it’s a home for “small-dollar donors” on the left side of the political spectrum. They claim to be “available to Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values for no cost besides a 3.95 percent processing fee on donations.”
