ActBlue has become the financial engine of the Democrat Party. Since its founding in 2004, the Massachusetts-based nonprofit has directed more than $16 billion to Democrat campaigns and left-wing organizations.
In the first quarter of 2025 alone, it processed $400 million, its strongest non-election quarter ever. Democrats call this proof of grassroots enthusiasm.
In reality, ActBlue is now the center of multiple federal investigations, accused of allowing straw donors, foreign contributions, and widespread fraud that undermines the integrity of American elections.
The Gateway Pundit was first to reveal that ActBlue received NEARLY HALF of its donations in 2019 from 4.7 million unemployed donors!
Democrats were also funneling donations to BLM that went directly to Democrat politicians.

In April 2025, President Trump issued a memorandum directing the Department of Justice to investigate ActBlue’s operations.
According to federal investigators, the platform had been connected to twenty-two separate fraud campaigns, nearly half of which showed foreign ties.
A House GOP report revealed that between September 2022 and November 2024, ActBlue processed nearly 1,900 fraudulent transactions.
At least 237 of those transactions were traced to foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards in just two months of the 2024 campaign season.
These findings suggest that a platform Democrats present as a small-dollar grassroots operation may in fact be a vehicle for foreign influence and systemic fraud.
The way ActBlue handled its own security makes these allegations even more troubling. Internal documents show that in 2024, the organization weakened its fraud detection systems not once, but twice.
These changes allowed an additional 14 to 28 fraudulent contributions to slip past safeguards every month.
At its worst point, the system failed to detect 6.4% of fraudulent attempts. ActBlue also operated for years without requiring CVV security codes on credit card donations, and it accepted prepaid gift cards that can be purchased anonymously.
These policies created the perfect environment for foreign money and straw donors to flood the system, shielded from oversight.
The foreign influence concerns are not hypothetical. Investigators traced contributions to countries including Brazil, India, and Saudi Arabia.
These donations were often structured in repeated small-dollar amounts designed to avoid detection, a method that artificially inflated ActBlue’s claim of millions of grassroots donors.
While Democrats tout ActBlue as proof of popular support, the reality is that the same donor name can be listed hundreds of times, raising serious questions about the true origin of the money.
This practice not only misleads the public but threatens the legitimacy of the campaign finance system.
The scandal has triggered turmoil inside ActBlue itself. In December 2024, 142 insiders—including consultants, campaign vendors, and donors—signed a letter warning that ActBlue’s lack of security protections was eroding confidence in Democrat fundraising.
Just two months later, seven senior officials resigned, including the organization’s top legal officer and vice president of customer service.
Union representatives described the resignations as an “alarming pattern” that revealed systemic instability.
When the very staff responsible for donor protections are abandoning ship, it speaks volumes about the depth of the problems inside the organization.
Congress has now stepped in. The House Oversight, Judiciary, and Administration committees have issued subpoenas to top ActBlue officials, requiring them to provide sworn testimony.
At the same time, the Department of Justice is pursuing its own criminal investigation into potential violations of federal election law.
ActBlue has long been presented as the symbol of Democrat grassroots power. Yet the evidence now shows that it is a system vulnerable to abuse, designed in ways that opened the door to fraud and foreign interference.
Instead of empowering ordinary Americans, ActBlue may have enabled schemes that compromised the very elections it claimed to strengthen.
For years Democrats attacked Republicans over claims of “dark money,” but now the Democrat Party’s fundraising giant stands exposed as a machine riddled with corruption and scandal.
The choice for Democrats is simple: fix it, or admit that their so-called grassroots platform was built on a lie.
