Any Hopes for Senate Electronic Filing?

The Campaign Finance Institute brings light to the fact that in six of the top ten Senate races, voters could not look up candidate's election contributions since June 30. House and Presidential candidates, other party committees, all PACs, and Section 527 political organizations, all have to file their federal campaign finance reports electronically while Senators do not. The Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act (S.1508)would require U.S. Senate candidates to do so. CFI is calling on Senator Lott (R-MS), the current chairman of the Rules Committee, to bring S.1508 to floor during the lame duck session. See the press release here and this previous Watcher story.
