Jill Stein Sues Federal Election Commission over Commission on Presidential Debates Exclusionary Rules

On October 22, Jill Stein sued the Federal Election Commission in Florida state court, concerning the presidential debate held that day in Boca Raton, Florida. Here is the complaint. The rationale for suing the FEC is that federal law does not permit corporations to make direct contributions to federal candidates, yet the FEC refuses to enforce this rule against the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is mostly funded by for-profit corporations. Although the CPD debates are over for this year, the lawsuit, like Gary Johnson’s debates lawsuits, will not be moot and any possible relief could help in 2016.
