In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Charles O'Brien states that this was his first election, first time using the filing system that he found to be difficult to understand. He stated that he misunderstood the instructions. He was under the belief that no changes were made throughout the entire election, as he had zero activity throughout all of the reports,and thus no new reports were owed.
