[EL] Corporate/labor donations for official election expenses

[Justin Levitt]

Given increasingly tight election budgets, I'm surprised there's not 
more of this.

Speaking of which, I've been interested in 11 CFR 114.4(c)(iii) -- "A 
corporation or labor organization may donate funds to State or local 
government agencies responsible for the administration of elections to 
help defray the costs of printing or distributing registration or voting 
information and forms" -- for a while now.   Does anyone know of such 
donations actually being made, in the past?  Off-list replies are welcome.
