RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Nevada GOP has filed an FEC complaint against a California group over allegations of election interference.
The NVGOP alleges that Manny’s LLC is illegally raising funds in violation of federal law to interfere with Nevada’s elections.
The complaint, in part, alleges they “appear to be illegally engaged in political activity as an unregistered political committee, failing to comply with federal registration and reporting requirements, as well as accepting contributions from federally impermissible sources and in excess of federal campaign contribution limits, and routinely failing to comply with federal disclaimer requirements.”
They say that Manny Yekutiel and Manny’s LLC of San Franscisco have been raising funds via a GoFundMe account to deploy people into Nevada for electioneering and ballot harvesting on behalf of the Harris-Walz campaign.

They further allege that the LLC has directed donors to register and attend official Harris-Walz campaign events and fundraisers while failing to comply with federal campaign finance laws.
“There is no room for the actions of unhinged California liberal groups illegally raising funds to deploy resources into the Silver State on behalf of Kamala Harris for President. This group’s flagrant violation of campaign finance law demonstrates the lengths in which Democrats are willing to go to try and secure the swing state of Nevada for their ticket. The Nevada Republican Party will not sit idly by while outside interest groups try to infiltrate our state and exploit Nevada voters,” said Jim DeGraffenreid, National Committeeman for the Nevada Republican Party.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the western slope of the northern Sierra Nevada above 5,000 feet and Yosemite National Park, above the Valley floor, from late tonight until Wednesday afternoon.
Heavy snow is forecast.
The snow levels will initially start out between 6,000 to 7,000 feet tonight, before lowering to 5,500 to 6,500 feet on Tuesday, and then down to 4,500 to 5,500 feet on Wednesday.
The heaviest snowfall is expected Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Minor accumulations of up to two inches is possible down to 4500 feet. The total snow accumulations above the 7,000 foot elevation, will range from three inches to as much as two feet.
Southwest winds could gust as high as fifty to seventy-five mph along the highest peaks. Such strong winds could cause tree damage.
Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Persons should delay all travel if possible. Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Visibilities may drop below a quarter of a mile due to falling and blowing snow. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.
Persons in the Watch Zone are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a hat will keep you from losing your body heat.
