Since earlier this month, many have been tracking allegations that the Obama campaign has been taking donations — illegally — from foreign sources. Over the weekend, the New York Post reported finding evidence that the campaign was accepting foreign donations. Now, just how this was allegedly allowed to occur is being revealed.
The Post wrote that British citizen Chris Walker was able to make two $5 donations using his actual U.K. street address, inputting Arkansas as his state and using a New York zip code. Essentially a completely false address. Conducting the same experiment in trying to donate to Republican candidate Mitt Romney, Walker wasn’t able to make a transaction as it pointed out the addresses didn’t match the one associated with his card. The Romney donation site also prompted him to include the code from the back of his credit card while Obama’s did not. The Government Accountability Institute released a report that found none of the Obama campaign websites ask donors to provide their three-digit card-verification value (CVV).
