Secretary proposes state canvassers check campaign reports
ANNAPOLIS October 11 Secretary of State proposed that the State Board of Election Canvassers audit campaign spending reports filed by political agents. The plan aims to close gaps in filing and accountability highlighted after a Baltimore grand jury criticized the current wording as ineffective and after a 195? case fined Jonkel for violating election laws while managing a Senate campaign. Reeves urged that campaign treasurers register with the Secretary of State and that reports be filed at the determining office, with canvassers checking filings and flagging inaccuracies to the Attorney General. He added that delegates to state nominating conventions should be regulated by law rather than party custom.
