Election Reform Bill Faces Deep Divides in Congress
Washington AP reports the future of a broad election reform bill is in doubt as Rules and Commerce committees clash over campaign spending and contribution limits. The Rules panel backed lifting a $5,000 individual cap and set an overall ad spending ceiling, while Commerce favored separate media limits and opposed unlimited contributions. If enacted, the bill would require detailed reports for committees spending over $1,000 and repeal equal-time rules for broadcasters, with other reforms including security requirements on credit and allowed solicitations from federal employees.
