The fines are related to missing reports for nearly 1,300 last-minute donations, totaling nearly $1.9 million. In the 20-day period before an election, candidates are required to file notices within 48 hours of receiving contributions of $1,000 or more.

Federal Election Commission officials would not comment, but the fine was detailed in a letter to the Republican National Committee’s chief counsel Sean Cairncross. The RNC had lodged a complaint against the campaign.

“The 2008 campaign was a record breaking campaign with over 3 million grassroots donors,” Obama campaign spokeswoman Katie Hogan said in an email. “The very few outstanding questions have now all been resolved.”
