CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw filed an election complaint Thursday against a nonprofit group over political advertisements that he says falsely accuse him of stealing the people’s money.
His complaint also accuses the Alexandria, Va.-based Center for Individual Freedom of conducting business without being registered or licensed in the state.

‘‘These are complete falsehoods and I’m sick of it,’’ Hughes said. ‘‘Their smears impugns the AG and this entire office.’’
Television and radio ads, which began airing Aug. 20, accuse McGraw of ‘‘divvying’’ up a $10 million settlement intended to help workers and the elderly to ‘‘his trial lawyer friends and a fund only controlled by McGraw.
