NC-13 Robinson fails NCLB

Vernon Robinson's campaign has failed to respond to a Federal Elections Commission letter issued August 29th, with a response due date of September 29th, requesting additional information regarding Robinson's Amended July Quarterly Report to the FEC.

Robinson has been too busy running a dirty campaign against Democratic Congressman Brad Miller to fulfill his responsibilities to the Federal government.  Robinson's MBA appears to be of little use in managing his accounts.  Let's hope he never gets near a Federal Budget or the House seat for NC-13 because he has failed the test for "No Contribution Left Behind".

The FEC letter addressed to Robinson's campaign treasurer, Emily Cummins, identified contributions exceeding cycle limits, contributions wrongly designated for the primary cycle after the primary (which can only be accepted to the extent that the campaign has debt).  Redesignation of these fund may be done within 60 days of the contribution but that time has expired.  One of the identified contributors of these funds is Robert Luddy a North Carolina conservative activist and benefactor.

There are also multiple discrepancies of totals, disbursements with incomplete address, amount and/or purpose, staff reimbursements which are not itemized or indicated as exempt from itemization and, single instrument contributions by more than one person without individual contributor information.  The letter also reminds the campaign that contributions must be itemized when the aggregate total from a contributor exceeds $200 in an election cycle, hinting that the FEC suspects that multiple contributions from individual donors may not be fully reported.

There are many reasons to re-elect Brad Miller to the US House for NC-13, not the least of which is his support for Community Colleges described in this recent MyDD Diary. but keeping his opponent at home would be a great public service.

Brad Miller has proven he can serve the people of NC-13.  Vernon Robinson has proven that he can scare people outside of NC-13 but he is incapable of serving the people of NC-13.

Vernon Robinson is a joke (3.00 / 1)

Now everyone knows it.  I was appalled that the N&O gave him any coverage at all.


Robin Hayes lied, Robin Hayes cried and thousands of folks lost their jobs.

What are the consequences of failing to follow the law?

Re: NC-13 Robinson consequences (none / 0)

I believe forfeiting the contributions in question and probably fines.
