[EL] Question about reading on campaign finance

[Smith, Brad]

Charles,

This doesn't describe the whole system, but a very concise explanation of the various ways that groups can get involved to make contributions or do independent expenditures in available on line for free in the Supplement to our casebook, Voting Rights & Election Law, by Dimino, Smith & Solimine. http://www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool/study/texts/pdf/3285-2012Supp.pdf. See p. 42-44, note 8.

This might be part of a package for you.

Subject: [EL] Question about reading on campaign finance

I know everyone (myself included) is obsessed about today's election, but I have a different question for the group, about readings in campaign finance that reflect the state of play, in the post-CU word.

In particular, I'm teaching a class on congressional politics, with a unit on campaign finance.  The unit still has "TBA" listed under the readings.  Needless to say, most textbooks (mine included) are antiquated in describing the current campaign finance regime in the U.S., especially as it pertains to congressional candidates.

Can anyone out there suggest something that would be appropriate for an advanced undergraduate class, and no more than 20 pages?  I basically need something to help fill them into what's happened since McCain-Feingold and CU.  Preferably nothing with a partisan slant, though beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks,

Charles
