Two Republican groups linked to the defunct First Liberty Building & Loan likely sought to illegally influence Georgia elections, the State Ethics Commission charged Thursday.
In an unanimous vote, the commission found probable cause that the Georgia Republican Assembly and the Georgia Republican Assembly Political Action Committee violated campaign finance laws dozens of times in recent years. Among other things, the commission found they failed to disclose more than $180,000 of campaign contributions as they rose to become dominant forces in state Republican politics.
