Fact Check
The
U.S. Election Assistance Commission agreed with State Auditor David
Vaudt, who questioned these expenditures, and ordered the state to
repay the $61,000 back to the federal government.
Now,
a just-released federal audit of Culver’s expenditures related to
implementation of the Help America Vote Act while he served as
Secretary of State found $2.5 million in questionable spending.
Current
Secretary of State and fellow Democrat Michael Mauro declined to
comment on the findings saying, “The audit speaks for itself.”
