Rice Campaign: It Was A Postal Error

The Andrew Rice for U. S. Senate committee said today it has complied with all Federal Election Commission requirements and that a demand letter from the FEC sent last week was the result of a Post Office error.

The campaign's spokesman, Tres Savage, told The McCarville Report Online today, "We've communicated with the FEC, and they've assured us that we are in full compliance. The FEC reports of U.S. Senate candidates are required to first go to the Office of Public Records at the Secretary of the U.S. Senate. Contribution records must either be hand-delivered to the Secretary of the U.S. Senate or mailed to a specific address in Alexandria, Va. Our report was filed in a timely manner, however, the United States Postal service failed to notice that the box for 'waiver of signature required' was clearly marked, and the report was not directly deposited into the PO Box of the Secretary of the U.S. Senate."
