DEL.ICIO.USTaylor says software glitch caused error
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia Republicans this week accused Democratic Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor of illegally keeping campaign contributions intended for a primary runoff that never occurred. Taylor defeated Democratic Secretary of State Cathy Cox ouright in the July 18 Democratic Primary, avoiding a runoff.
The state GOP has filed an ethics complaint against Taylor, contending his gubernatorial improperly kept money intended for the primary runoff.
But Taylor’s spokesman, Rick Dent, said it’s all a misunderstanding caused by a software glitch.
According to Dent: “The software that we use automatically treats “runoff� contributions as “primary runoff.� Our vendor will be making the necessary correction in the software and we will amend our reports as needed. Our contributions are legal.�
