State GOP files formal complaint against Symington, Democracy for America with AG

By Megan Stewart, Politicker.com Reporter

Days before the general election, the Vermont Republican Party filed a formal complaint with the attorney general's office on Thursday alleging an illegal collaboration between Democracy for American and the campaign of Democratic gubernatorial challenger.
