Question/Complaint

​Does the Board have subject matter jurisdiction over what a legislator is alleged to have posted on his personal social media account? ​

Summary

​​No. Even if the Board had subject matter jurisdiction in this matter, it would have not found a violation because there was no evidence showing the social media account was owned by the legislator or that he was involved in the posts complained about. ​
