States Support Montana Campaign Finance Law 
--------------------------------------------


 
Attorneys general from nearly half of U.S. states have come out in
support of a Montana law limiting corporate spending on elections. The
century-old state law was struck down following the Supreme Court’s
decision in Citizens United, which opened the floodgates for more
corporate money for political campaigns. But the Montana Supreme Court
later upheld the law. If the U.S. Supreme Court considers the case, it
could change the way states are allowed to regulate corporate money in
elections.
