A voter-approved Maine limit on PAC contributions sets the stage for a legal challenge

Yesterday

Maine residents approved a referendum to limit donations to political action committees, capping individual donations to super PACs at $5,000, with nearly 75% support. The measure aims to regulate campaign spending after the Citizens United decision, as stated by state Sen. Rick Bennett.

Supporters anticipate a lawsuit to clarify PAC donation limits since the U.S. Supreme Court has not yet ruled on individual contributions to PACs.

State Sen. Rick Bennett, a supporter of the proposal, said it was carefully crafted to survive legal challenges.
