On June 22, 2015, Level the Playing Field, Peter Ackerman, the Libertarian Party, and the Green Party, sued the FEC over presidential general election debates. Some response from the FEC is due today. Of course the FEC will probably say that it did consider the Level the Playing Field request for a new rule (on July 16, 2015), and that the FEC voted 4-2 not to consider a new rule. This case will transition from a lawsuit complaining about the FEC’s failure to respond, to a lawsuit complaining that the existing FEC regulations violate federal campaign finance law. Federal campaign finance law forbids corporations from donating to candidates for federal office. The question is whether corporate donations to the Commission on Presidential Debate effectively mean they are donating to the Democratic and Republican Party presidential campaigns.
