COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has requested that the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) open a preliminary inquiry into online political fundraising platforms.
In a letter to SLED Chief Mark Keel, Wilson asked that agents be assigned to investigate allegations of suspicious activity on platforms such as ActBlue.
The agents would work with Wilson’s office and Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Creighton Waters.
Attorney General Wilson sent a previous letter on August 22, 2024, raising concerns about potentially fraudulent activity involving ActBlue, ActBlue Civics, and ActBlue Charities as Wilson’s office was alerted to allegations of possible “smurfing.”]
