Elections officials are asking two North Carolina Senate leaders to fix potential problems with campaign finance reports.
The State Board of Elections sent audit letters in the past week to the campaign committees of Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand and Minority Leader Phil Berger.
The letters say there are discrepancies about donations the campaigns reported receiving from political action committees.
The lawmakers also have been asked to explain donations received during the legislative session from PACs that hire registered lobbyists, which would be illegal. Berger told the News & Record of Greensboro he expects the problems to be cleared up. He says PAC donations were probably received just before the session began.
The board could impose fines.
