Another rush hour mess and this one lasted for several hours. This is 280 in los altos hills. And the lanes opened around 2 00 this afternoon. Our nbc chopper over head, traffic backed up for nearly 10 miles from los altos. Dead locks and delays, nothing getting done. Tonight, we investigate the federal elections commission. Im Senior Investigative reporter, steven scott. For the first time we dig up the agencys own voting records, to see how the Agency Charged with protecting your voting laws does little to nothing at all. Now someone suspects that there is poison involved. And after a hot day around the bay area, still warm in san jose, 74 degrees. Up next, a cooling trend but could that include showers from Southern California. Is someone intentionally poisoning dogs in the east bay . Thats the suspicion after several dogs have gotten is someone intentionally poisoning dogs in the east bay . Thats the suspicion after several dogs haveiga got extrem sick. So far at least six dogs have gotten sick after being walked there. And parents are worried that kids who play in the grass may also get ill. You would hope somebody would do something about it. Co ntra costa services have looked into it but no arrested have been made. The fire has now surpassed the 200 million mark. This is now the costliest fire fight in history. Its destroyed 57 homes and 11 buildings, more than 400 structures are still threatened. This happened from an illegal camp fire and made its way south. Its charred 113,000 acres and 50 contained. Theyre supposed to enforce the law and make sure all of our elections are fair. But we discovered the federal agencies finds itself stuck in political grid lock. Steven, how does this impact us . Bottom line, raj, if a candidate or candidates breaks the law, theres a good chance theyll get away with it. And dating back to the year 2000 and we found complaints that linger in the system for years with no action. A proposed ordinance called measure b to require porn stars wear condoms. And they said many missed the impact on general election law as a whole. A mandatory condom law will not make our work safer. Sfwlrks t reporter the fec was asked to step in. It prohibits foreign money from funding political campaigns. But in this case, the fe. C. Did nothing, forcing the Fair Political Practices Commission to intervene and stop the foreign money. This issue was really, really upsetting to me. Reporter bay area native once worked for the fpc and now works for the fec. Were not accomplishing what congress intended for us to accomplish. Founded in the wake of the water gate scandal, its made up of two democrats, two republicans and an independent, who they found vote would the democrats most of the time. Unfortunately, we dont really do any of those things. Reporter so we teamed with our nbc investigative partners in washington d. C. To check the fe. C. s own records. Dating back to 2000, we found the average investigation of a complaint two a year and two 1 2 months to close. Even cases where they took no action. 42 of all those cases went on longer than a year. Ku compare that to california. Mark everson also ran for president s a republican this campaign cycle. I think the members understand it and the political players understand it and thats why they can take advantage. Reporter the problems of delays grew starting after 2009. The number of closed or decided cases dropping dramatically through this year and it now takes an average of a year and t two months to get a vote. The fe. C. Is atrocious at enforcing our campaign laws. Nothings getting done. Lots of dead lock. Reporter dead locks kept some cases open four years or longer. One case remained open 9 1 2 year years. The republican commissioners are just as unwilling to enforce democrats as republicans. Theyre trying to do all parties and outside groups, big spenders to run rough shot. I believe there are people in power who like it, there are people who dont want any change at the fec. Why . Because they understand that if the law is actually enforced at the fec, it can have implications for how campaigns are run. I would strongly dispute that. Reporter at the regular Commission Meeting last thursday, republicans spoke to us through matt peterson. Theres no signaling to say youre free and clear to do whatever you want because were not going to enforce. The cases weve had disagreement are based on over what the law requires and prohibits. There have been times when i think all of us would agree we need do a better job and i think we have this year in getting through those matters. Why should mom and dad at home care about this . They should care bute tabout fact that were supposed to make sure its fair. Seems like you cant get an agreement on anything. Not on much. Reporter and they gave us a statement refuting that fec was quote dysfunctional. The statement saying all of this is quote the proper role of the first amendment.
