As detailed below, John Doe associated with and maintained an interest in ActBlue and the ActBlue Campaigns, in violation of WOCCA.” The suit asks a judge to issue a temporary injunction prohibiting any more donations using Block’s identity through the ActBlue platform.
Mark Block has been consulting for Republicans for years.
So when he discovered an old email account he used for the 2012 Herman Cain presidential campaign was receiving receipts for donations to Democrat candidates like Kamala Harris, he became alarmed.
For emphasis, the lawsuit declared: “The relevant ‘enterprises’ were ActBlue and the ActBlue Campaigns.
Block’s lawsuit alleged that the misuse of his identity to make the donations qualified as “racketeering activity” carried out through multiple enterprises as defined by Wisconsin law.
The discovery led Block -- a stalwart Republican -- and his lawyers on a journey that escalated Monday evening when he filed a groundbreaking lawsuit in the Wisconsin state courts under civil racketeering laws, alleging he is a victim of identity theft in a conspiracy to abuse the massive ActBlue fundraising platform.
That platform is designed to benefit Democrats with small donations under $200 that evade Federal Election Commission reporting requirements, the suit stated.
