ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Federal Elections Commission has found that former Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee gave excessive contributions to two well-known Republicans.
The problem is highlighted in a letter sent to SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford.
Crawford told The Anchorage Daily News that the problem has been fixed.
He said SarahPAC has sorted out the $5,000 contributions to Sens. John McCain and Lisa Murkowski, and the campaigns have already refunded $200 each.
Crawford blamed the problems on election software used to deal with required disclosures.
. . . . .
Crawford said SarahPAC has redesignated the $5,000 going to the McCain and Murkowski campaigns so that each received $2,400 for the 2010 primary and another $2,400 for the general election.

Looks like the folks at SarahPAC already have McCain’s victory in the 2010 Ariz. GOP primary as a foregone conclusion.
From what I read, McCain gave her 5,000 to start off her Pac, and she was just reimbursing the amount back to him. As far as Murkowski goes, I bet she regrets giving that RINO a dime
Am I caught in an episode of The Flintstones or the Twilight Zone?
When did the little piggies down at the FEC start worrying about this kind of stuff?
“FEC finds problems with SarahPAC contributions [to Murkowski, McCain in 2010 primary, general]”
Sarah donating to McCain is not surprising. Unfortunate, but not surprising.
Meanwhile Obama received tens of millions of dollars worth of foreign untraceable credit card contributions....let’s worry about $200.
January 20th 2009.
let’s worry about $200............................. ITS PALIN! The MSM will treat it as if it was 200M!! Be ready it will get worse as she approaches the primaries.
Sarah gave the maximum to Murkowski and that disgusting bit@h has done nothing but badmouth Sarah since?
What’s Murkowski’s e-mail address?
Giving to McCain is not a shock, I wish she hadn’t, but oh well, what can ya do. Lisa Murkowski, I bet she regrets giving that RINO loser one red cent. Apparently she also gave a donation to someone named Rob Portman, he is running for Senate in Ohio
Much ado about nothing!
Old news about the contributions, which were made very early this year. The real news is FEC’s harassment over a couple of hundred bucks, all the while oBama’s campaign accepted millions in shady contributions from foreign sources.
Like I said, old news....
Looks like the folks at SarahPAC already have McCain’s victory in the 2010 Ariz. GOP primary as a foregone conclusion.
McCain has almost $27.5 million on had as of the June 30, 2009 filing. I suspect he’ll be able to buy enough votes with kinda walking around cash.
The list, ping
Looks like they’re really reaching. Go find those $200 errors and ignore the big ones: Richardson
