Statement of Commissioners Highlights Leniency of FEC Disclosure Rules. #cfr #disclosure #fec #elections

Earlier this week, the three Republican members of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) released a statement of reasons explaining their votes in May to dismiss a case against a no longer active 501(c)(4) group, Freedom's Watch. The Washington Independent says that the material released "bodes particularly ill for the chances of any form of meaningful campaign finance disclosure from independent groups during the upcoming election cycle."
