North Dakota House candidate files federal complaints alleging fraud, election interference
Julie Fedorchak's campaign filed complaints with two federal agencies related to a video and text messages sent last week that falsely state the candidate dropped out of the race for U.S. House of Representatives.
Complaints were filed with the Federal Election Commission and Federal Communications Commission asking the agencies to investigate the messages, campaign manager Sean Cleary wrote in a Monday email.
Shane Goettle, the campaign's attorney, said the complaint to the Federal Election Commission alleges election interference and the complaint to the Federal Communications Commission alleges the "use of texts in a fraudulent manner."
"We've alerted the U.S. Attorney's Office to this as well, because they have a responsibility to ensure that our elections are run in ways that aren't patently deceptive to voters and they have a responsibility to ensure that elections are run in a fair and impartial manner," Goettle said.
The messages included texts with fake news headlines saying Fedorchak had suspended her campaign, as well as a manipulated video of Fedorchak stating she was withdrawing from the race.
"We are very concerned that if we don't file this complaint now, that we're going to see this repeated in the future," Goettle said.
