Furgatch v. Federal Election Commission

critiquing the election of forums rationale as applied in Sarkisian and as discussed in dicta of an earlier Ninth Circuit decision, Salveson v. Western States Bankcard Ass'n, 731 F.2d 1423 (9th Cir.1984) | “We must apply [the FECA] consistently with the constitutional requirements set out in Buckley” | The context was different in this respect: the corporate prohibition was not involved; instead, the asserted violation was an individual’s failure to report to the FEC as required by another part of the statute. But the “express advocacy” standard was still at issue. | newspaper advertisements criticizing President Carter
