Please consider this letter a formal complaint against the Ohio Republican Party ("ORP"). As shown by the evidence enclosed with this complaint, the ORP has improperly paid for and disclosed at least $550,000 in connection with voter identification activity In violation of FEC regulations.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, the ORP spent MP to $1 million dollars in 2014 on what they called "Project Ruby" a new voter file system used in identifying and targeting voters iri connection with an election featuring federal candidates. "Kvamme to use high-tech to help Ohio GOP mine votes." Columbus Dispatch, May 29,2014. Attached as Exhibit A. According to the Dispatch report, the ORP has retained a firm named FactGem to undertake this project. Based upon a review of reports filed with the Federal Eler^ion Commission, it is clear that the ORP is improperly paying for Project Ruby as an administrative cost Thus, the ORP is clearly ignoring the requirements that Project Ruby be paid for as a federal election activity.

According to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, the ORP made Oaymehts totalling $517,500 to FactGem, reported on Schedule H4:

FEC Report Pages are attached as Exhibit B.

By disclosing these expenses on Schedule H4 and, presumably, allocating those expenditures with federal and non-federal funds, the ORP has violated the requirements of 2 U.S.C. § 30125(b) which require that any federal election activity either be paid for with federal funds or with a combination of federal and non-federal (i.e. "Levin) funds.

Specifically, the ORP has engaged in "voter identification" activity, which is defined as:

...acquiring information about potential voters, including, but not limited to, obtaining voter lists and creating or enhancing voter lists by verifying or adding information about the voters' likelihood of voting in an upcoming election or their likelihood of voting for specific candidates. The date a voter list is acquired shall govern whether a State, district, or local party committee has obtained a voter list within the meaning of this section.

11 C.F.R. § 100.24(a)(4).

For purposes of this section, all expenditures made between February 5, 2014 and November 6, 2014 were considered a federal election activity. See httD://www.fec.Qov/info/charts fea dates 2014.shtml#search=federal%20election%20ac tivities. Since these payments were made between February 5, 2014, and November 6, 2014 the entire $467,500 spent by the ORP was in non-compliance with Federal Election Commission requirements and in violation of federal election laws and regulations.

The only way that the ORP could have legally paid for expenses related to federal election activity were to either pay for them exclusively with federal funds, or with a combination of federal and Levin funds, which are non-federal funds raised in increments no greater than $10,000. 11 C.F.R. § 300.33. In addition to violating section 441 i(b), the ORP failed to properly disclose the payments for these activities as federal election activities in accordance with 11 C.F.R. § 300.36.

Moreover, the ORP also made additional payments directly to FactGem from non-federal accounts. Each of these payments is a violation of 11 CFR § 106.7(e)(3), which states that "only Federal funds, or a mixture of Federal funds and Levin funds, as provided in 11 CFR 300.33, may be used" to pay for federal election activities:

03/11/14 $10,000 from the Ray C. Bliss Building Trust Fund 03/11/14 $5,000 from the Ohio Republican State Central & Executive

Committee State Account 03/11/14 $10,000 from the Ohio Republican State Central and Executive

Committee Restricted Fund 03/20/14 $15,000 from the Ray C. Bliss Building Trust Fund 03/20/14 $10,000 from the Ohio Republican State Central and Executive

Committee Restricted Fund

Copies of the finance reports showing these payments are included as Exhibit C.

The Ohio Republican State Central and Executive Committee Restricted Fund may accept up to $10,000 per calendar year from corporations and labor unions. ORC § 3517.13(X)( 1). This is separate from the ORP's "Levin Fund", which is governed by R.C. 3517.1013 and is reported as a separate account from the Restricted Fund. On information and belief, the ORP Restricted Fund did not have sufficient non-corporate contributions in 2014 to make the payments to Factgem from permissible sources. By making payments for federal election activity from ORP's Restricted Fund, the ORP converted these othenvise permissible gifts into impermissible contributions In violation of 11 CFR § 114.2(b).

The Ray C. Bliss Building Trust Fund is ORP's building fund, set up in accordance with ORC § 3517.101, and may accept up to $10,000 per calendar year from corporations and labor unions. ORP's use of this fund to pay for federal election activity violates not only 11 C.F.R. § 300.33, but also 11 CFR § 300.35(a) which prohibits the use of a party building fund "for the purpose of influencing any candidate in any particular election for Federal office." Moreover, the ORP's use of corporate contributions in paying for federal election activity converted these otherwise permissible gifts into impermissible contributions in violation of 11 CFR § 114.2(b).

While we understand that the requirements of complying with the rules for federal election activities may be burdensome, the ORP has had more than a decade to learn how to properly pay for these activities. The Federal Election Commission must promptly investigate this misuse of non-federal funds by the ORP and require the ORP ' to transfer federal funds to pay for this activity in its entirety with federal funds. In addition, the Commission should assess any and all necessary penalties and fines for this clear and obvious violation of federal law.

Since^ly,

Kvamme to use high-tech to help Ohio GOP mine votes

Thursday Posted May 29,2014 at 12:01 AM Updated May 29,2014 at 11:43 AM

The man who built Gov. John Kasich's privatized economic-development agency has a new project, one that not only is intended to aid the Republican governor's re-election this fall but could give Kasich a leg up on the field should he choose to run for president in 2016.

By Joe Vardon, The Columbus Dispatch

The man who built Gov. John Kasich's privatized economic-development

agency has a new project, one that not only is intended to aid the

Republican governor's re-election this fall but could give Kasich a leg up

on the Held should he choose to run for president in 2016.

I Venture capitalist and JobsOhio founder Mark Kvamme and his wife, the

former Megan Browning, are developing technology that can compile

' and sort massive amounts of information on millions of Ohio voters in a I L searchable database, determine which undecided or unlikely voters can be

^ "moved" to support Republicans based on that information, decide how

j to allocate resources to move those voters, and track them to make sure

Kvamme to use hi^-tech to help Ohio GOP mine votes http://www.dispatch.coin/content/stories/IocaI/2014/05/29/gop-goes-...

they vote.

The undertaking, called Project Ruby, is being paid for by the Ohio

Republican Party and will be available to candidates besides Kasich. The

Ohio GOP has already paid FactGem, Megan Kvamme's company created

in May of 2012, S55,000 for its work. Documents online show

Republicans budgeted nearly SI million for Project Ruby; Ohio GOP

chairman Matt Borges told The Dispatdi that the project would cost

"hundreds of thousands of dollars."

While "micro-targeting," as it's called, is not new to political campaigns,

new high-tech methods can make the difference in close elections by

swinging small percentages of voters to one side. Kasich enjoys a sizable

lead in polling over Democratic nominee Ed FitzGerald right now. But

Kasich's 2010 victory over then-Gov. Ted Strickland was by just 77,000

votes.

No campaign in history was able to micro-target through data analytics

quite like Democratic President Barack Obama's in 2012, when he spent

millions to develop and implement information technology that not only

helped him win key swing states such as Ohio, but also e3q)osed massive

technological deficiencies on the part of Republican nominee Mitt

Romne^s campaign, the Republican National Committee and Ohio

Republicans.

What the Kvammes are doing in Ohio is meant to not only mitigate

whatever advantage FitzGerald might have with analytics ~ the

Cuyahoga County executive has alums from the Obama team on his

payroll ~ but it comes at a time when Republicans are trying to develop

technology to catch up with Democrats. If it works in Ohio this year, it

could conceivably work for a Republican vying for the party's presidential

nomination in two years.

"Consider Ohio a big test run for this project ~ if it works, it goes

national," said one Republican insider who is familiar with Project Ruby

and asked to remain anonymous to discuss sensitive campaign matters.

iKvamine to use high-tech to help Ohio GOP mine votes http://www.dispatch.coin/cQntent/stories/local/2014/05/29/gop-goes-..

In an interview, Borges said he first approached Mark Kvamme late in

. 2012 because of Kvamme's background. The California venture capitalist,

|i whom Kasich brought to Ohio in 2011 to start JobsOhio, helped shape

I Linkedin, the social promotion site for business professionals. f

Kvamme, who did not return messages seeking comment, left JobsOhio

on Nov. 1,2012, about 5 1/2 months after articles of incorporation were

filed for FactGem.

The company is registered to Megan Kvamme in an online filing and

appears to have products and customers outside of politics. Mrs.

Kvamme, whose father, Gregory Browning, was budget director for Gov.

George V. Voinovich, is now spearheading Project Ruby, Borges said.

Her chief technology officer at FactGem is Clark Richey, who used to

work at the data firm MarkLogic, where Mark Kvamme is a board

member.

"What we've built. Democrats won't have anything like it and I don't

think it's been done before," Borges said. "It's a data engine that allows us

to maximize our voter contact and information."

The first part of Project Ruby is the database. Dozens of data points, such

as when people vote, why and for whom, are collected, often through

traditional campaign methods of in-person and phone contact. Those

points go into the database along with other nuggets such as consumer

habits, which can be purchased.

A third somce is social media, which is combed for information on

undecided or infrequent voters. Kvamme's experience with Linkedin is

expected to infiuence that portion of the project.

All the information is used to determine pockets of "soft" voters who can

be persuaded to vote for Kasich.

The project's other aspect is a mechanism to track targeted voters and

I make sure they vote. The Romney campaign had technology for this in

2012 — called Project ORG A — that failed miserably on Election Day and

Kvamme to use high-tech to help Ohio GOP mine votes http://www.dispatch.eom/content/stories/local/2014/05/29/gop-goes-..

cut off Republican volunteers from information they had planned to use

to turn out voters in swing states such as Ohio.

FactGem has already developed an app called CanvasseR that not only is

supposed to succeed where ORCA failed, but also is expected to help in

the data gathering for part one of Project Ruby.

Ben LaBolt, national press secretary for the Obama campaign in 2012,

said "analytics and technology" can "boost a candidate" but "can't win a

campaign on their own." For instance, candidates must have enough

money to reach the voters they identified through technology. Kasich has

about $8.5 million on hand compared with FitzGerald's $1.5 million.

There also is the head start Democrats had in such analytics, which began

before Obama was elected in 2008.

"Everything we do is rooted in data," said Meredith Tucker,

spokeswoman for the Ohio Democratic Party, which touts the strength of

a voter file that stretches back to at least the successful election of U.S.

Sen. Sherrod Brown in 2006.

"Republicans have tried and failed for years to catch up to our voter file

strategy, so it's no surprise that their goal again is to catch up this year.

They might be able to build the infrastructure, but the competitive edge

for Democrats is that we've been layering specific data onto our voter file,

year in and year out, for over a decade. You can't build that overnight or

in one election cyde."
