FEC Filing System Outage Hides Crypto PAC Spending
The US Federal Election Commission (FEC) reported an 'electronic filing system outage' on Tuesday, potentially obscuring expenditures by super political action committees (PACs) and other groups in the final days before the 2026 midterm elections. As of Tuesday, FEC filings showed no expenditures from cryptocurrency industry-aligned Super PACs Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, Protect Progress, Fellowship, and Digital Freedom Fund since Sunday. Digital Freedom Fund reported spending over $572,000 on text messages supporting Republican Senate candidates, with the majority going to Ken Paxton's campaign in Texas. Protect Progress reported spending over $50,000 on a direct mail campaign for Representative Aisha Wahab in California's 14th district.
