Group claims Coburn broke election law
A watchdog group filed complaints Friday alleging Sen. Tom Coburn (news, bio, voting record)'s campaign broke election law by failing to properly identify some donors before the 2004 election.

An audit released last month by the Federal Election Commission showed Coburn's 2004 campaign committee failed to file some last-minute contribution reports and didn't disclosing enough information about some individual contributors.

According to the audit, Coburn's campaign did not contest the findings and said it had taken to ensure compliance with federal laws. The audit did not indicate whether the commission would seek fines for the violations.

Coburn's communications director, John Hart, said the complaint was a partisan attack against the Republican senator.

1. Partisan attack?
That's what they always say when they are caught red-handed.
