Idaho Rep. Phil Hart's write-in challenger, Howard Griffiths, has filed a complaint with the Idaho Secretary of State's office over Hart's campaign finance filings for a PAC he formed this year called "North Idahoans for Liberty." Tim Hurst, chief deputy secretary of state, said the office has not yet received the complaint, but Hart's report for the PAC has been under review by staffers in the office since it was filed for errors and discrepancies, including possible missing pages. "They've asked him repeatedly to get those in, he hasn't done so," Hurst said today. "I just called him to tell him, and he wasn't in, but I left him a message that we need that report in and we need it in now."

Political candidates or committees that fail to file reports or that falsify the data can face fines and even misdemeanor criminal prosecution; for a PAC, the fine can be up to $2,500. Late filings can bring fines of $50 per day. You can read my full story here at spokesman.com, and read the complaint here.
