"DNC Files FEC Complaint Against Robert Kennedy Jr. and Super PAC for Alleged Illegal Coordination"

The Democratic National Committee has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, alleging that third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a supportive super PAC violated federal election law by unlawfully coordinating in a $15 million effort to collect signatures for state ballot access. The complaint argues that the super PAC's spending constitutes an illegal in-kind donation to Kennedy's campaign. In response, the founder of the super PAC called the complaint a desperate tactic to defame Kennedy, while Kennedy's campaign manager stated that the FEC complaint is a nonissue, as the campaign has a structure allowing volunteers to collect and submit signatures independently.
