The pro-Trump Great America super PAC filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Michael Bloomberg transferring $18 million from his [[Michael Bloomberg 2020 presidential campaign|defunct presidential committee]] to the Democratic National Committee. Because the money to the committee all came from Bloomberg himself, the transfer is an illegal violation of campaign finance limits on donations, the group says.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/coronavirus-could-make-2020-the-lawsuit-and-legal-threat-election</ref>

The DNC partners with two organizations,<ref>https://medium.com/powering-progressive-movements/action-network-partners-with-the-dnc-to-build-sustainable-tech-infrastructure-for-progressives-2f13d1e4199b</ref> [[Act Blue]] and [[Action Network]], who are allied with one another.<ref>https://medium.com/powering-progressive-movements/optimize-your-fundraising-with-the-new-and-greatly-expanded-actblue-sync-f568d8a03ad0</ref> Together these platforms allow [[progressive]] groups, including [[antifa]],<ref>https://noqreport.com/2020/07/19/action-network-bonds-antifa-blm-riots-and-dnc-at-the-hip/</ref> to raise money and organize protests electronically. It gives progressive activist groups the ability to privately and quickly communicate with members of their mailing lists. There is even a degree of list-sharing between the groups. From Action Network’s announcement of the DNC partnership:
{{quotebox|We had hoped to announce our partnership with the DNC under much different circumstances, but now, facing an unprecedented crisis that has forced us all to move our [[community organizing|organizing]] from in-person to digital, our partnership to build robust, safe, and trusted technology for the movement is more important than ever.
As COVID-19 affects our collective communities and changes the world around us by the hour, we are working to be as responsive as possible to the needs of you, our partners, and your communities. For months now, in partnership with the DNC and through our non-profit, cooperative development model, we’ve been doubling down on our efforts to make sure the Action Network toolset can be there every moment to get your communications in people’s inboxes quickly and effectively.}}
