Secretary of State Michele Reagan is no longer going to enforce a law designed to give targets of last-minute political “hit pieces” time to respond.
Reagan told Capitol Media Services the decision came after Eric Spencer, her elections director, concluded the provision to notify a candidate being attacked likely is unconstitutional. And Reagan said she considers the violation – to the extent there is one – to be minor.
“Perhaps there are other violations that warrant a lot more of the office’s time and response,” she said.
