Coleman recount committee took in nearly $1 million in first quarter of 2009

Norm Coleman’s recount committee took in nearly $1 million between Jan. 1 and March 31, according to new filings at the Federal Election Commission today (pdf). The group had paid out slightly more than $1 million over the same period (pdf) and had $133,730 cash on hand at the end of March. One interesting note about the disbursements report: Coleman’s payments to “E-Merchant” Campaign Financial Services of Bethesda, Md., continued even after revelations about a January leak of online-donor data led the Coleman campaign Web site to cease soliciting online donations.
