Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues Democratic Donor Platform ActBlue
Paxton alleges ActBlue violated consumer-protection law and seeks to block donations through gift cards and prepaid debit cards.
- On Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit in Tarrant County against ActBlue, alleging the fundraising platform misrepresented its donor vetting processes and seeking over $1 million in damages.
- Paxton alleges the platform deliberately ignored security risks by accepting gift cards and prepaid debit cards, which investigators claim bypass identification requirements and create a 'substantial risk' for impermissible foreign contributions.
- Citing 'misleading statements and noncompliance with our subpoenas,' Congressional Republicans including Rep. Bryan Steil, Rep. Jim Jordan, and Rep. James Comer recently demanded documents regarding ActBlue's internal screening procedures.
- ActBlue spokesperson De'Andra Roberts-LaBoo characterized the filing as a 'thinly veiled attempt to distract from Ken Paxton's numerous legal and ethical issues,' dismissing the lawsuit as politically motivated.
- Since 2004, the platform has processed more than $16 billion for left-wing candidates and announced Tuesday it raised $568 million in the first quarter of 2026, underscoring its financial scale amid ongoing scrutiny.
