Chris Cannon under FEC Investigation

The FEC is investigating Chris Cannon's 2004 re-election campaign.

Hunter said the notice from the FEC, received last month, ``indicated they're going to look at everything, which is fine. It's all there to look at.'' He said Cannon's treasurer, state Sen. Curtis Bramble, has sent records to the agency.

Larry Noble, a former general counsel with the FEC who now runs the Center for Responsive Politics, said the commission doesn't have the resources to do many audits, so they are ``only done when there are enough problems to really warrant the FEC to look at them.

Hunter said Cannon's opponents, particularly those who oppose his immigration stand, have made complaints to the FEC and stirred up trouble, ``so it certainly doesn't surprise me'' that there would be an audit.
