Meeting of the TN Registry of Election Finance (09/07/2022) - Humble Campaign

Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars hard at work. This is a meeting of the TN Registry of Election Finance and a 35-minute discussion on Gary Humble's campaign for state senate.

If you are interested enough to watch this charade, you will notice how hard they work to conjure up a way to proceed with an audit for the campaign and even toyed with the idea as to whether or not they even had the jurisdiction to try and audit Tennessee Stands, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.

The effort was pushed by attorney and board member, Tom Lawless. Upon making the accusation that illegal coordination occurred, he erroneously refers to Tennessee Stands as a PAC, which we are not. Additionally, he could not even recall or find any record he had of what the name of the mysterious PAC even was. Yet he called for an audit.

At least (1) member of the board cautioned that perhaps this move to audit was extreme, especially since they had no sworn complaint, no evidence, and really no reasonable suspicion that would warrant an audit of Gary's campaign.

Yet, they persisted.
