On May 19, U.S. District Court Judge Donovan W. Frank, a Clinton appointee, enjoined a Minnesota campaign contribution limit. Minnesota campaign finance laws say that after a candidate has received a certain number of large contributions, then future campaign contribution limits to that candidate are reduced to only 50% of the original individual limit.

For example, the first twelve donors to a candidate for state legislature may contribute a maximum of $1,000, but then the next donor may only contribute $500. Seaton v Wiener, cv14-1016. The basis for the decision is the recent U.S. Supreme Court McCutcheon decision. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
