State Republicans are asking the North Carolina State Board of Elections to investigate Gov. Beverly Perdue's campaign and why it reported some campaign flights only recently.
Republican Party chairman Tom Fetzer said Thursday he has written elections board leaders seeking a formal investigation into Perdue's committee and the state Democratic Party.
Fetzer said he wanted to make sure elections officials looked closely at 17 private flights the Bev Perdue Committee didn't disclose until August.
Democratic Party spokeswoman Kerra Bolton said the complaint has no merit.
The board already is examining private flights by former Gov. Mike Easley going back several years. The board will hold a hearing Oct. 26 about Easley's campaign.
