On February 15, the Federal Election Commission informed the U.S. Supreme Court that the FEC doesn’t intend to respond to Jill Stein’s cert petition. Stein v FEC, 23-771. The issue is how to calculate primary season matching funds. The FEC believes that Stein was overpaid in 2016 and wants some of its money back. The FEC had changed the rules on the matching period, to the detriment of Stein. It said that contributions she received after she won the Green Party nomination, but before she lost the Peace & Freedom nomination, can’t be matched.
