The Sanders campaign has issued refunds to 278 donors whose US citizenship was not able to be confirmed after they donated to the campaign.

The Sanders campaign has issued refunds to 278 donors whose US citizenship was not able to be confirmed after they donated to the campaign.

According to Sanders campaign’s FEC filing, “The Committee did not receive confirmation of citizenship or residence status and therefore issued refunds earlier this month to the following donors. These refunds will be reflected in the Committee?s forthcoming 2016 May Monthly FEC Report (04/01/2016 ? 04/30/2016).”

The good news is that the fact that the potentially illegal donations were caught means that the system worked. Potentially illegal foreign donations were not accepted by the Sanders campaign. The bad news is that the system could be better, and there is still potential for a candidate to accept illegal foreign donations.

Bernie Sanders has proven the conventional wisdom wrong by showing that a candidate doesn’t need super PACs and dark money to run a competitive presidential campaign. The problem is that even a campaign with good intentions can still see potentially illegal donations slip through the cracks. The Sanders campaign caught 278 questionable donations out of the millions that they receive each month, but how many did they not catch?

1. lol

The system didn't work. In prior campaigns without complete information the donations would not have gone through in the first place.

The FEC caught them instead of the campaign system catching it.

2. Finally

It's figured out where James Sanders has disappeared to....writing checks to foreigners, hiding from tax return questions and helping collapse Burlington College

Wouldn't that be still breaking the law of FEC standards ,that he accepted that money ????
