The Nevada Republican Party (NVGOP) has lodged a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against a California-based group, Manny’s LLC, over allegations of illegal election interference in Nevada. The complaint alleges that Manny’s LLC, headed by Manny Yekutiel in San Francisco, is illegally raising funds to influence Nevada’s elections.
According to the NVGOP, the group has been raising money through a GoFundMe campaign to fund activities such as electioneering and ballot harvesting supporting the Harris-Walz presidential campaign. The complaint further accuses Manny’s LLC of operating as an unregistered political committee, failing to adhere to federal registration and reporting laws, accepting contributions from sources not permitted under federal regulations, and exceeding federal campaign contribution limits.
Additionally, the GOP contends that the group has not complied with federal disclaimer requirements. The Nevada GOP alleges that the LLC has directed donors to participate in official Harris-Walz campaign events without following federal campaign finance laws. The activities, they claim, represent a broader attempt by California groups to influence the outcome of Nevada’s elections.
“There is no room for the actions of unhinged California liberal groups illegally raising funds to deploy resources into the Silver State on behalf of Kamala Harris for President,” said Jim DeGraffenreid, National Committeeman for the Nevada Republican Party. “This group’s flagrant violation of campaign finance law demonstrates the lengths in which Democrats are willing to go to try and secure the swing state of Nevada for their ticket. The Nevada Republican Party will not sit idly by while outside interest groups try to infiltrate our state and exploit Nevada voters.”
The FEC has yet to respond to the complaint, and representatives from Manny’s LLC and the Harris-Walz campaign have not issued statements regarding the allegations.
