This might be a good opportunity for me to blow my own horn.  I have a blog covering campaign finance issues, election administration, voting rights, and (that inexhaustible fount of) "politicians in trouble."  My blog is found at http://votelaw.blogspot.com.  I mentioned the Wisconsin case at http://votelaw.blogspot.com/2002_12_01_ww_archive.html#90067619.  I probably found it through some Googling or from some other website or blog.  I would love to have feedback on the blog and about my main website, www.votelaw.com.  Thanks.

A federal district court in Wisconsin recently issued an opinion on a Wisconsin campaign finance law that is similar to the provision of the BCRA using a 60-day "bright line" test for defining express advocacy. (The opinion issued in December, but I just heard about it today from Mark Glaze of the Campaign and Media Legal Center.)  The court held (as I have argued) that the question of such a law's overbreadth depends upon an empirical determination of how much genuine issue advocacy would be covered by the bright line test.  A pdf file with the case is attached.
