Justice in Parker North: U.S. Court Strikes Colorado Campaign Committee Law

Wed, Nov 17 2010 by Staff

Last week the Tenth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals struck down a Colorado campaign finance law requiring any group that spends more than $200 on political activities to register as an “issue committee”. The court found that the $200 threshold was too low, and that the campaign rules were too complex.

“The average citizen cannot be expected to master on his or her own the many campaign financial-disclosure requirements set forth in Colorado’s constitution, the Campaign Act, and the Secretary of State’s Rules Concerning Campaign and Political Finance.”
