The lawsuit was filed in federal court, according to the New York Post. Sen. Brown is running for re-election in Ohio. Ohio used to be a state that could go either way, but now it’s mostly Republican.
In the primary, Brown got all of the votes, but there was no one running against him. The lawsuit says that people who gave money to the Ohio Democratic Party knew that the money would actually be used for Brown’s campaign.
The lawsuit also accuses a group that supports Brown of raising money for the Democratic Party in a way that’s against the law.
The Foundation says that Brown had too much money left over after the primary, which makes them think something wasn’t right in how he raised the money. They want the Federal Election Committee to do something about it. So far, Brown hasn’t said anything about the lawsuit.
Brown is being challenged by businessman Bernie Moreno in the upcoming election. According to a survey that combined a bunch of polls, Brown is ahead in the race.
