A federal judge denied a request to block the campaign finance provisions of a ballot measure approved by Alaska voters in 2020. Political donors and independent expenditure groups had argued the disclosure rules are unconstitutional and burdensome.

The plaintiffs had asked that the challenged portions of the initiative be blocked while the case was ongoing.

Daniel Suhr, an attorney for the plaintiffs and a managing attorney at the Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center, in a statement said: “We remain confident in our arguments. This was only a preliminary ruling and we plan to continue vigorously pursuing the case to protect Alaskans’ First Amendment freedoms.”

The plaintiffs are listed as Doug Smith and Robert Griffin of Anchorage; Allen Vezey of Fairbanks; Albert Haynes of Wasilla; and Trevor Shaw of Ketchikan. The lawsuit describes each of them as sometimes donating more than $2,000 to organizations that make independent expenditures.

Sorry. You thought you were just going to get the ranked choice votes. No dice. In fact politicians should be required to wear NASCAR style uniforms with their donors logos
