By Roger Wieand, Saurav Ghosh, Tara Malloy, Aaron McKean| Campaign Legal Center@ Wealthy donors looking to secretly influence elections frequently donate to politically active nonprofits, such as 501(c)(4) “dark money” groups, exploiting a loophole that deprives voters of their right to know who’s spending money to influence elections.

Many of these ads also ask viewers to donate money. Tweetable quote: Amidst this deluge of campaign ads, voters need robust legal guardrails that uphold transparency, limit the risk of corruption, and curb big money’s power and influence over the political process.
