Most people have been tired of these ads for a couple of months. The degree of saturation has been amazing. The question arises: from where did the money arise that is funding many of these ads?
It turns out that some of the nastiest ads were produced by a PAC called NC True Conservatives. Its campaign finance report with the state reveals it received a $350,000 donation from the Good Government Coalition based in northern Virginia near Washington, D.C.
This same group– the Good Government Coalition— has a website; but does not have an Federal Election Commission report online or a current report with the NC State Board of Elections. It is therefore difficult to know who is funding it.
Dark money. I wonder what the funders of these ads believe they are receiving in return for their investment.
Addendum: The Daily Haymaker says there also may be gambling money affecting this race.
