On July 15, a U.S. District Court in Washington state issued an injunction against a state law that says no one may contribute more than $800 to a recall campaign. The case is Farris v Seabrook, w.d., 11-5431. The case turned on the point that there is no evidence that the plaintiffs, who have been trying to recall the Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer, were tied to any particular potential candidate for that office. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the news.
