The Federal Election Commission will not decide until April 25 whether to extend the Socialist Workers Party’s exemption for campaign disclosure. If the FEC does grant a further extension, it will almost certainly be for three more years. Other parties over the years that have received exemptions from disclosure rules (not just federal exemption, but exemption from state and local requirements) are the Communist Party, the Socialist Action Party, and the Freedom Socialist Party. The basis has been that these parties have been able to show real injury to individuals who are publicly identified as supporters of those parties.
