ADM for July 25, 2025: A Maine Ballot Initiative Limiting State Contributions to SuperPACs was Also Ruled Unconstitutional. This One, However, Might Reach SCOTUS.

American Democracy Minute Radio News Report for July 25, 2025 Timely to Sept. 30, 2025 We reported last fall that Maine voters approved Ballot Question 1, limiting contributions to SuperPACs spending money in state elections. It passed with massive voter support, but like the state’s foreign influence ban, was ruled as likely unconstitutional. That’s what organizers hoped would happen.
