The NYTimes posted a front page article on how FEC and Supreme Court decisions has led — and will continue to lead — to a “shift away from 527 groups toward operating in the form of nonprofit, educational organizations” as a way for non-profits to spend unlimited amounts in the upcoming election (purportedly but not explicitly to influence how voters vote for the candidates) but not be subject to the FEC’s (new) disclosure requirements for 527 groups. This and the SC decision in Wisconsin Right to Life allows non-profits and corportations to run ads during the 60 days before the general election are jointly to blame for the shift, which has the effect of providing less disclosure about the sources of money behind the groups and their advertisements.
