Please refer to the information below for further instructions related to your particular hearing: If this is a hearing to consider an appeal from an automatic fine, the Filing Officer has imposed a fine on you for your failure to file a campaign treasurer’s report on the designated due date and, by filing an appeal, you have asked the Commission to consider either (1) that the report was in fact timely filed; or (2) that there were unusual circumstances that excused the failure to file the report timely. You are required to prove your case. If the Commission finds that the report was filed timely or that there were unusual circumstances that excused the failure, it may waive the fine, in whole or in part. The Commission may reduce a fine after considering the factors in Section 106.265, Florida Statutes. If the Commission finds that the report was not timely filed and there were no unusual circumstances, the fine will be upheld.

If this is a hearing to consider a consent order before a determination of probable cause has been made, the Commission will decide whether to accept or reject the consent order. If the Commission accepts the consent order, the case will be closed and become public. If the Commission rejects the consent order or does not make a decision to accept or deny the consent order, the case will remain confidential, unless confidentiality has been waived. If this is a hearing to consider a consent order after a determination of probable cause has been made, the Commission will decide whether to accept or reject the consent order. If the Commission accepts the consent order, the case will be closed. If the Commission rejects the consent order or does not make a decision to accept or deny the consent order, the Respondent will be entitled to another hearing to determine if the Respondent committed the violation(s) alleged. If this is a probable cause hearing, the Commission will decide if there is probable cause to believe that the Respondent committed a violation of Florida’s election laws. Respondent should be prepared to explain how the staff in its recommendation incorrectly applied the law to the facts of the case. Respondent may not testify, call others to testify, or introduce any documentary or other evidence at the probable cause hearing. The Commission will only decide whether Respondent should be charged with a violation and, before the Commission determines whether a violation has occurred or a fine should be imposed, Respondent will have an opportunity for another hearing at which evidence may be introduced. If this is an informal hearing, it will be conducted pursuant Sections 120.569 and 120.57(2), Florida Statutes; Chapter 28 and Commission Rule 2B-1.004, Florida Administrative Code. At the hearing, the Commission will decide whether the Respondent committed the violation(s) charged in the Order of Probable Cause. The Respondent will be permitted to testify. However the Respondent may not call witnesses to testify. Respondent may argue why the established facts in the Staff Recommendation do not support the violations charged in the Order of Probable Cause. At Respondent’s request, the Commission may determine whether Respondent’s actions in the case were willful. The Respondent may also address the appropriateness of the recommended fine. If Respondent claims that his limited resources make him unable to pay the statutory fine, he must provide the Commission with written proof of his financial resources at the hearing. A financial affidavit form is available from the Commission Clerk.

Re: Case No : FEC 14-185

Dear Mr. Williams:

This letter pertains to Case No: FEC 14-185 in which I, as treasurer for NAAPAC-FL, am alleged to have violated Florida's Elections Laws by failing to file a timely amendment to the 2014 M3 Report. I respectfully request that this letter, sent to you in a timely manner for receipt before the deadline of January 28, be placed promptly in my case file so that it is available to the Commission in its probable cause hearing scheduled for February 24-25, 2015

Summary:

In short, this matter originated with a notice dated March 21, 2014, and a second notice

dated April 1, 2014 Both notices were sent to my old address, 9452 Lita Rd W, Jacksonville, FL 32257 We moved in late summer 2013 The letter from Florida Elections Commission was also sent to the NAAPAC FL president, Victor Swaroop, who was suffering from serious health issues The errors made were not intentional, were caused by a new user lack of familiority with the interface, and should have had no impact on any political campaign in 2014

I received a package on September 23, 2014 regarding Case No: FEC 14-185 I promptly corrected the 2014 M2 Report and called to verify with Division of Elections that the amended 2014 M3 report was clear There are no reports or amended reports are pending.

We just moved to 224 Bowles Street, Neptune Beach from 9452 Lita Road W, Jacksonville when the error was made on the r·eport. The original package subsequently was sent to my old address. I corrected and called for help for numerous times regarding the mistakes on the reports .. The error or mistake was not

intentional. I believe this came about due to selecting a wrong options in the drop down menu I was a first time user to the filing system, and filing the 2014 Ml and M2 report

National Asian American PAC, FL (NAAPAC FL) is a new organization NAAPAC FL accepts membership fee from general membership at large .. We have limited financial resources. All board members and officers are volunteers We live in the different places throughout the state. We all have limited time to work on the campaign finance reports. I am trying my best not to make mistakes. I never did this kind of job

--~·-·--~-------------------------·-----·---·----··--·-----·-------·------------------------------

Page 9: In Re: Wenxia Raiti Case No.: FEC 14-185

( I "

before I have been learning about the web filing system and self-taught how to report the transactions

on EFS I have not made errors since 2014 M4,, Strangely, I did not notice any message or alerts about the errors in M2 report when I logged in to file 2014 M4, MS, M6, and so on

I am a mother and a full-time CPA I am a volunteer for NAAPAC FL I hope that I am doing work for a good cause to promote increased engagement by Asian Americans in our democratic process

As is evident from the preceding events, this circumstance arose from an unfortunate convergence of

factors, the organizations fledging status, inexperienced and health issues of its leaders, official notice

sent to an old address, and earlier indication from FEC that all issues have been resolved such that there was no further follow·up action

No less importantly, the above innocent errors have not resulted in any effect whatsoever upon any political candidate, organization or process, In 2014, NAAPACFL made no political contribution to anyone. We have learned from our innocent mistake and pledge greater effort towards total compliance

On behalf of NAAPACFL., I humbly request your understanding and forgiveness, Thank you for your consideration

Respectfully,

National Asian American PAC, FL

STATE OF FLORIDA FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION

Case No.: FEC 14-185

STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION

Pursuant to Section 106 25(4)(c), Florida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this written recommendation for disposition of the refenal in this case recommending that there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.07(2)(b)l., Florida Statutes Based upon a thorough review of the Report of Investigation submitted on December 18, 2014, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation:

1 On July 15, 2014, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a 1efe1ral fiom the Department of State, Division of Elections, alleging that Wenxia Raiti ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes ..

2 Respondent is the treasurer for National Asian American PAC-Florida, Inc (PAC), a political committee currently registered with the Division of Elections (ROI Exhibit 3)1

3 Complainant alleged that Respondent, acting as treasurer of a political committee, failed to file an addendum to an incomplete report after receiving notice from the filing officer that the report required an amendment

4. The PAC filed its State of Florida Appointment of Campaign I reasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository for Political Committees form ("DS-DE 6") on January 25, 2013, and appointed Respondent as its treasurer (ROI Exhibit 2)

5. By letter dated October 17, 2014, the Executive Director notified Respondent that Commission staff would investigate the following statutory p10vision:

Section 106.07(2)(b)l., Florida Statutes: Respondent, treasmer for National Asian American PAC Florida, a political committee, failed to make necessary amendments to the committee's 2014 M2 and M3 reports, as alleged in the complaint 2

1 The Report of Investigation is referred to herein as "ROI"

2 Respondent has a pending companion case (FEC 14-156) for failing to make necessary amendments to the committee's 2014 M2 Report; therefore, the M2 Report is not referenced in this staffrecommendation

· -Staff Recommendation FEC-14-185 1

Page 11: In Re: Wenxia Raiti Case No.: FEC 14-185

·" ' I I

6. Respondent timely filed the PAC's 2014 M3 Repo1t on Ap1il 10, 2014; however, the repmt was incomplete (ROI Exhibit 11)

7 By lette1s dated May 20, 2014, June 2, 2014, and June 30, 2014, the Division info1med Respondent that the PAC's 2014 M3 Repmt was incomplete and required an amendment The lette1s advised Respondent to file an amended repo1t within 7 days of receipt of the notice.. As a comtesy, the Division also attached an enor repo1t to each of the notices which explained the items that required an amendment The June 30, 2014 "Final Notice" lette1 was sent via ce1tified mail and was confirmed delive1ed to Respondent on July 9, 2014 (ROI Exhibits 12, 13, 14, and 15)3

8 According to the Division's History Notes, Donna Brown sent an email to Respondent on June I 0, 2014 informing her that the June 2, 2014 letter was returned to the Division. Ms .. Brown's email advised Respondent to update her mailing address with the Division through the EFS, by mail, email, or fax. (ROI Exhibit 8, page 2)

9.. On October 27, 2014, Commission staff received a written response from Respondent Respondent stated, "I was learning how to file the financial report on the website of the Division of Election.. I simply chose the wrong answers fiom the dropdown menu" Respondent also indicated that she had just moved to a new house and forgot to update her contact information with the Division (ROI Exhibit 17)

10 The committee's Queued Transaction Repo1t indicates that Respondent last amended the committee's 2014 M3 Report on July 31, 2014 .. (ROI Exhibit 16, page 7) Commission staff reviewed the committee's amended 2014 M3 Repo1t, and it appears the repo1t is complete and is now in compliance .. Id

1 L Despite having 1eceived two wtitten notices and an email reminder from the Division, Respondent did not file National Asian Ame1ican PAC's amended 2014 M3 Repo1t until July 31, 2014. (ROI Exhibit 16)

12 "Probable Cause" is defined as reasonable grounds of suspicion suppo1ted by circumstances sufficiently strong to warrant a cautious person in the belief that the person has committed the offense charged. Schmitt v State, 590 So 2d 404, 409 (Fla .. 1991). P1obable cause exists where the facts and citcumstances, of which an [investigator] has reasonably trustwmthy information, ate sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to reach the conclusion that an offense has been committed Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles v. Favino, 667 So 2d 305, 309 (Fla .. 1'1 DCA 1995).

13 The facts set forth above show that Respondent was the treasurer for National Asian American PAC-Flmida, Inc , a political committee cu11ently registe1ed with the Division of Elections On April 10, 2014, Respondent timely filed the committee's 2014 M3 Repmt;

3 The 2"' letter dated June 2, 2014 was returned to sender due to Respondent's failure to update her mailing address with the Division (ROI Exhibits 14 and 17)

Staff Recommendation ·FEC 14-185 2

Page 12: In Re: Wenxia Raiti Case No.: FEC 14-185

(

however, the report was incomplete After receiving two written notices and an email reminder from the Division, Respondent filed the committee's amended 2014 M3 Report on July 31, 2014

Based upon these facts and circumstances, I recommend that the Commission find probable cause to charge Respondent with violating the following statutory provision:

Count 1:

On or about July 16, 2014, Respondent violated Section 106 07(2)(b)l, Florida Statutes, when she failed to make timely amendments to National Asian American PAC-Florida, Inc .. 's, 2014 M3 Report.

RE: Case No.: FEC 14-185 (National Asian American PAC FL, Inc)

Dear Mr Oliver:

I am writing to respond to the letter on October 17, 2014. I am a volunteer as the Treasurer for National Asian American PAC, FL It is my first time serving in a political organization .. I was learning how to file the financial report on the website of the Division of Election The errors made in 2014 M2 and M3 were not intentional I simply chose the wrqng answers from the dropdown menu We moved to a new house and I forgot to update the contact information with the Division of the Election By the time when I got the letter, it was in July I corrected the mistakes right away

NAAPAC FL is a new organization Its mission is to educate Asian Americans the importance of the civic engagements and of participating in the political process Our revenue is our membership fee We don't have political donors

I am requesting for forgiveness for filing the amended reports late due to the above circumstances

Sincerely,

Treasurer, NAAPAC FL

Page I of I

I received a package on July 26, 2014 regarding Case No : FEC 14-185. I corrected 2014 M2 Report and 2014 M3 Report right away I called and confirmed with the Election Divisions that the both reports were clear I also just logged in to the web account and no reports or amended reports are pending. I spoke to Donna Brown from Elections Commission about the case She suggested that I do nothing and wait for the case to be close.

I just moved to 224 Bowles Street, Neptune Beach from 9452 Lita Road W, Jacksonville The package went to my old address I corrected and called for help for numerous times regarding the mistakes on the reports Errors and mistakes are not intentional Sometimes, it was related to selecting a wrong options in the drop down menu

National Asian American PAC, FL (NAAPAC FL) is a new organization NAAPAC FL accepts membership fee from general members at large. We have limited financial resources All board members and officers are volunteers .. We live in the different parts of the state We all have limited time to work on the campaign finance reports I am trying my best not to make mistakes I never did this kind of job before I have been learning about the web filing system and how to report the transactions on EFS I have not made errors since 2014 M4 Strangely, I did not notice any message or alert when I logged in to file 2014 M4, MS, M6, and so on

I would like to request that we settle this case as soon as possible I also would like to plead forgiveness on delaying responding to the case due to the above reasons

Sincerely,

Wenxia Raiti, Treasurer National Asian American PAC, FL

RE: Phone call received regarding M12 report

Ms Raiti called She was driving but had received an email and wanted to check on what it meant She said it told her the M12 report had not been filed and that she needed to call us She thought she had already done it as a waiver I checked her account in EFS and saw it in Pending It was done as a waiver and had been review but had not been filed I told her this and she said that she was grateful for the automatic email because she would not have realized there was a problem since she thought she had completed the process already She said she is not enjoying the monthly report and asked if it would continue to be monthly after the elections this year I told her the new reporting dates for 2014 were all online for download I told her they would remain monthly until closer to election and then the dates would get tighter but they are all listed on the calendar available online She said she would look at the calendar and finish filing the report when she got to a computer

I left a message for Ms Raiti at both of her phone numbers regarding no response to 2 notices sent by us regarding an incomplete 03 report

904-469-0722 message left 11/8/13@ 9:33 am 412-983-6012 message left 11/8113 @ 9:37 am

She called back 11 8/13@ 9:40 am She said she knew about both notices, but she is a volunteer and it has been hard to find time to do them She asked if the monthly reports were only because the election was coming up and I told her no, it was a new law passed by the legistature and it would be monthly from now on, on the 10th of every month or next business day if it fell on a weekend or holiday She said ok but that it makes it very hard for her to keep up with all the reports when it switches to monthly instead of being quarterly She thanked me for calling 1 told her she was welcome to call with any questions

Spoke wNictor - having trbl w/password - had called in yesterday and was given original PW because he had not been in the system 84 - Lenard/Terri both spoke w/him - has not looked at EFS manual yet - relying totally on trying to remember what he was told over the phone - apparently he had tried to reset the PW and failed - had to have Terri reassign new PW for him -was able to get signed on - explained to him where to find report to be filed - how to review it before submitting - once again advised hime to run off EFS User Guide for both himself and treasurer - appeared to have a grasp of everything when we completed the call
