Don Beason's loan to Jim Black could have been seized.
Under state law, his $500,000 check to Black would have been an illegal campaign donation, said State Board of Elections investigator Kim Westbrook Strach, reports Ryan Beckwith.
In theory, the elections board could still decide to seize the check -- and a second one for the same amount written two weeks later -- since there is no statute of limitations on illegal donations.
"I guess it's a possibility," she said, noting it would be up to the State Board.
