Does anyone know of any compilation of limitations at the state level on third-party use of information provided in campaign finance disclosure, including donor information and petition signers?
On the federal level, 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(4) and 11 CFR 104.15 prohibit commercial use of donor disclosures. Is there anything similar on the state level?
Doe v. Reed strongly suggests that such limitations may be vulnerable to a challenge of some sort, with the standard being some sort of balancing test.
Thanks in advance.
