Weeks Before Primary, Court Strikes Down Montana Campaign Contribution Limits

A federal judge on Tuesday struck down Montana's campaign contribution limits, just three weeks before the state's primary.

 

U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell said in an order the state's contribution limits in state law are unconstitutional.

 

The move is reminiscent of 2012, when Lovell also ruled the state's contribution limits unconditional. That stood for a week before the limits were reinstated by a federal appeals court.
