Judge Says States Can Investigate WinRed’s Fund-Raising Tactics


A Federal Judge, in Minnesota, on Wednesday, dismissed a Lawsuit filed by WinRed, a Company that Processes Online Donations for Republicans, that sought to Block State Attorneys General, from Investigating Fund-Raising Tactics that have triggered Complaints of Fraud.

The Attorneys General from Four States: Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, and New York, First sent Letters to WinRed last April, asking for Documents, after a New York Times Investigation, revealed the Company’s use of Prechecked Boxes to Automatically Enroll Donors in Recurring Contribution Programs.

The Boxes resulted in a Surge in Demands for Refunds from Supporters of Trump.

WinRed Declined to provide the Documents, and instead went to the Federal Court, to argue that Federal Law should pre-empt any State-level Consumer Investigations.

Chief Judge John R. Tunheim of the U.S. District Court, in Minnesota, ruled against the Company, on Wednesday.
