LINCOLN- A member of State Senator Mike Flood's campaign team said that a software glitch led to several errors in recent contribution reports.

The Flood camping was notified that several donations exceeded the federal contribution limit for individuals which is set at $2,900.

Jessica Flanagain, a campaign consultant for the state senator, said the problem was that a software system, used to input donations, didn’t recognize that some contributions were for the June 28 “special election”.

The result of the software glitch was that donors who gave Flood two donations of $2,900, one for the May primary and one for the special election, were listed as giving two “primary” contributions of $2,900 on the campaign’s pre-primary report in April.

The campaign report has since been amended and refiled correctly.

A spokesman for the Pansing Brooks campaign, Chris Triebsch, said it was ironic that both Fortenberry and Flood have issues with their federal election filings.
