Brewer said that as for the potential state campaign law violations, any registered voter could bring such a charge, which would go to the Bureau of Elections and the Department of State. A knowing violation of the statute is a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for an individual held liable of up to a year in jail and/or a fine up to $1,000. If the violator is not an individual, the fine could go as high as $20,000 or equal to the amount of the improper contribution or expenditure.

AG Nessel should also file charges against anyone present
