A review of Maine-based data shows that one Brunswick resident is recorded in FEC records as having made 11,380 donations totaling $145,726 via ActBlue over a period of six years — or roughly one donation every 1.5 days.

Another Scarborough woman is recorded as having given $111,227 to ActBlue via 10,761 distinct transactions over a similar time frame.

The unusual volume and frequency of small dollar transaction has led some to question whether the donations are authentic, or whether the named donors are the victims of a kind of identity fraud that has allowed money from an unknown source to enter into U.S. political campaigns.

The New York Times, the official media organ for the Democratic National Committee and diehard Democratic voters, is sounding the alarm over internal chaos at ActBlue, the political fundraising juggernaut that has helped left-wing candidates and committees raise billions of dollars since its founding in 2004.

According to the bombshell report released Wednesday, the powerhouse fundraising platform, which is technically organized as a nonprofit political action committee, is facing internal chaos, with at least seven senior officials resigning amid increasing scrutiny from congressional Republicans.
