[Smith, Brad]

The headline below is very misleading, because as the lower court found--and this is undisputed--in fact thousands of non-profits had this information made public thorugh those "California Regulators." Their is no penalty under state law even for intentional release of the information, let alone negligent release, and no way to collect damages from the state for release of the information.

A problem headline would have stated "
(Information MADE Public)<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2felectionlawblog.org%2f%3fp%3d104451&c=E,1,vk0L2QWK4c6CZxD8p1sed2NBCNzZFUw0VLqV2f2CoSl4y97Pf_7No8kMRKKTWy2UykzvW5tzjhI56vjqfnNYBjElXVMSwID2T8g9VEukM1wnQw0rsq8adt-BEQ,,&typo=1>"

I have little doubt that AFP will try next at the Supreme Court.
