Finally, a campaign embezzlement can be addressed under the false statements statute, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 1519, and 18 U.S.C. § 2 (willfully causing an offense). This is because the embezzlement is concealed from the committee’s treasurer, who is required to file detailed reports with the FEC regarding the committee’s receipts and disbursements. 52 U.S.C. § 30104(b). Thus, a person who embezzles contributions from a committee willfully causes the committee’s treasurer to create false internal records and to submit false information to the FEC regarding the actual use of the funds, in violation of both the reporting requirements of FECA and 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 1519. False statements involving FECA violations fall under FECA guideline, U.S.S.G. § 2C1.8. D. OBLIGATION TO REPORT FELONY CONVICTIONS TO STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 requires United States Attorneys’ Offices to send a written notice whenever a defendant is convicted of a felony to the chief state election official in the state where the defendant resides. 52 U.S.C. § 20507(g). The notice must include basic information regarding the defendant, the court, the offense, and the sentence. 52 U.S.C. § 20507(g)(2). In addition, if the conviction is overturned, the election official must be sent written notice of the vacation of conviction. 52 U.S.C. § 20507(g)(4). This information is important to election authorities who determine a person’s eligibility to vote. You may identify the appropriate state election official using the website www.nased.org. 196
