SCOTUS closes Loophole on mega donors.

“Moving forward, these groups will need to disclose to the public any donor that gave money for the purpose of influencing a federal election, regardless of whether they want to sponsor a particular race or specific communication,” election law expert Matthew Sanderson told the Washington Post. “Some groups will not need to adjust their approach to raising funds, but this will be a significant change for others.”

“In a nutshell: It limits the ability of #darkmoney groups to keep their donor lists secret this election,” the transparency-minded FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub wrote on Twitter Tuesday, referring to the Supreme Court’s stay denial.

“This is a real victory for transparency,” she added. “As a result, the American people will be better informed about who’s paying for the ads they’re seeing this election season.”
