The Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF) filed a lawsuit challenging a West Virginia electioneering communications law. CFIF wants to run television and radio ads targeting West Virginia's upcoming Supreme Court elections, but doesn't want to disclose how much it spends or who is paying for the ads. CFIC charges that several provisions of campaign finance law are vague and overbroad, and unconstitutional. The lawsuit states; "This is an action to vindicate core First Amendment rights of free speech, association, and petition that are being infringed by facially vague and untailored provisions of West Virginia law. Plaintiff wishes to engage in public discussion of issues of public policy while West Virginians are focused on such matters by the impending state elections, while candidates in those elections usefully illustrate Plaintiffs points, and while grassroots activity is most effective. Plaintiff is being deterred from speaking, however, by threatened civil and criminal penalties."
