At least one political action committee will escape punishment for a possible campaign law violation from 2014, thanks to a federal judge’s ruling that invalidated a lynchpin of Arizona’s election laws.
The Secretary of State’s Office recently dismissed a dozen complaints from the 2014 election cycle, which had been on hold since U.S. District Court Judge James Teilborg’s ruling that Arizona’s statutory definition of “political committee” was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. Nearly all of the complaints were dismissed due to insufficient evidence of a violation.
