Ninth Circuit Remands Case Back to U.S. District Court on Whether Montana Contribution Limits are Too Low

On September 1, the Ninth Circuit issued an amended decision in Lair v Bullock, 12-35809. The issue is whether Montana’s campaign contribution limits are too low. They are $500 to joint tickets running for Governor and Lieutenant Governor; $250 for other statewide state offices; and $130 for legislature and all other state offices. The Ninth Circuit wants the U.S. District Court to determine if there is adequate evidence that these relatively low limits are needed for an important state interest, and whether the evidence shows that these limits are too low to enable a typical candidate to amass sufficient resources to wage an effective campaign.
