US EditionInvestigation: Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue's fraud-prevention 'weak'
- Republican lawmakers James Comer, Jim Jordan, and Bryan Steil have been investigating ActBlue's fraud prevention since October 2023 in the United States.
- Their probe followed concerns that ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform, allowed illicit foreign donations and lacked a required CVV number for credit card payments.
- The committees subpoenaed ActBlue for documents concerning donor verification, foreign contributions, fraudulent donations, and deplatformed entities, uncovering that the platform processed unchecked payments amid record-breaking fundraising efforts.
- ActBlue updated policies to require safeguards like CVV only after ensuring these changes would not reduce Democrat donations, while its executives reportedly did not take fraud threats seriously.
- This investigation suggests ActBlue’s earlier weak fraud prevention could impact U.S. Political campaigns by enabling foreign and fraudulent actors to exploit the platform.
