It will give you a sense of the clash of world views and the depth of

"The Federal Election Commission deadlocked along party lines Aug. 23 on
an advisory opinion regarding fundamental issues of campaign finance
law, including identifying 'express advocacy' messages and determining
whether an organization is a 'political committee' subject to
regulation. The deadlock on a ruling by a so-called Section 501(c)(4)
organization called the National Defense Committee (AO 2012-27)
highlighted unresolved questions about how the FEC will respond to
increasing spending by many similar groups on political messages. Many
of these organizations claim to be exempt from FEC rules requiring
reporting of their donors and expenditures."

Is Election Day Voter Registration Coming to California? Is It the
Dems' "Voter ID" Equivalent? <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=39011>
Posted on August 23, 2012 2:41 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=39011>
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
It looks like it
<http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/08/23/737251/california-edr/>.
There's a parallelism to EDR legislaton and voter id legislation. EDR
legislation is favored mostly by Democratic legislators as a way to
expand the electorate and especially casual voters who are more likely
to vote Democratic (if they actually register and vote). Voter id
legislation is favored mostly by Republican legislators as a way to make
it harder for those casual voters (likely to vote Democratic) and others
to vote.
Both laws are motivated, at least in part and at least among some
legislators for the partisan motivations.
That's not to say that EDR is a good or bad reform---but rather that
legislators consider the partisan consequences when voting on these laws.
