ABC: Mine Deaths Blamed on Company Run by Major GOP Contributor

West Virginia state mining officials concluded Thursday that a fatal mine accident in January could have been prevented, placing blame on a huge coal company run by one of the country's biggest Republican donors, Don Blankenship.

Blankenship is chairman, CEO and president of the Massey Energy Company of Richmond, Va.

He has spent millions of dollars to promote Republican candidates and causes in this year's election.

The report on the fatal mine accident cites "168 notices of violations" in Massey Energy's Aracoma Mine that led to the deaths of two miners, according to the investigation issued by the West Virginia Office of Miner's Health, Safety and Training.
