The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a new watchdog group that holds political organizations accountable for campaign finance rules and ethics violations, has filed a complaint against Catalist, LLC, “a for-profit company that has provided customized voter data to hundreds of labor unions, Democratic committees and candidates – including the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns in 2008.”
The report goes on to say:
The complaint, filed to the Federal Election Commission, accused the group of effectively masquerading as a corporation while acting like a political action committee — in turn, skirting campaign finance laws that normally apply to PACs.
