NYT: 2,596 Trades in One Term: Inside Senator Perdue’s Stock Portfolio
An examination of Mr. Perdue’s stock trading during his six years in office reveals that he has been the Senate’s most prolific stock trader by far, sometimes reporting 20 or more transactions in a single day.
The Times analyzed data compiled by Senate Stock Watcher, a nonpartisan website that aggregates publicly available information on lawmakers’ trading, and found that Mr. Perdue’s transactions accounted for nearly a third of all Senate trades reported in the past six years. His 2,596 trades, mostly in stocks but also in bonds and funds, roughly equal the combined trading volume of the next five most active traders in the Senate.

Those law abiding Republicans strike again:
“A Florida attorney is accused of fraudulently applying to register to vote in Georgia so he could vote in next month’s U.S. Senate runoff elections.
The secretary of state’s office alleged Thursday that Bill Price told members of the Bay County Florida Republican Party that he was planning to move in with his brother in Georgia so he could register and vote in the Jan. 5 runoff elections. Price, the office says, then encouraged others in attendance to “be his roommate in Georgia” and register to vote.
The secretary of state’s office investigated Price and found that he attempted to register to vote, but the registration was pending.”
