Court Upholds New Election Reform Law

It preserved public funding for presidential campaigns and spending limits while striking one minor provision and leaving other provisions undecided. The ruling allows $1,000 per candidate per election and $25,000 per donor with annual ceilings up to $70,000 for Congress and $20 million for presidential races.
