A secretive group known as the Patriots Run Project has come under fire for allegedly violating campaign finance laws. The group, which recruited retired and disabled supporters of Donald Trump to run as third-party spoiler candidates in competitive congressional districts, was the subject of a recent complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The Patriots Run Project, as revealed in a previous Associated Press article, operated discreetly by scouting conservative candidates online, assisting them in qualifying for the ballot, and investing significant resources in their campaigns. Despite its active involvement in influencing federal elections, the group is not registered as a business, political committee, or nonprofit organization.
