Matt Arnold of Clear the Bench Colorado was sued under Colorado’s campaign laws—even after he sought out guidance from the Secretary of State’s office.
Arnold makes the shocking, but I think correct, statement, “Under Colorado’s campaign finance rules and regulations, the 1960 civil rights movement could not have existed. They would have had to file all sorts of reports, disclosures, identifying individuals who are supporting them. Those individuals certainly would have been subject to retribution, either physically, or financially, or both.”
