Expect to see a lot about Super PACs illegally coordinating with Hillary Clinton in the final weeks of the 2016 Presidential Election.
This article is part one of a series of articles aimed to provide clarity in regards to what a Super PAC is, and what constitutes legal and illegal coordination.
This article is split into two parts – What is a Super PAC, and what does Coordination mean.
Part 1: What’s a Super PAC?
If you’ve ever donated to a political campaign, you’re probably aware that there’s a $2,700 individual contribution limit. So, what do big time donors do when they “max out” their contributions?
They donate to Super PACs.
Super PACs are political committees that can accept unlimited contributions.
Super PACs are prohibited from coordinating expenditures with political candidates or political campaigns.
Part 2: Super PACs and Coordinated Communications
Super PACs are prohibited from coordinating with political candidates and their campaigns.
US Code of Federal Regulations (linked here) define 2 types of coordination:
* Coordinated Communications
* In-kind Contributions
If a Super PAC engages in either of these types of Coordination, they’re engaging in illegal activity.
This article will focus on what “Coordinated Communications” are. Our follow up will provide clarity on the second type of coordination.
