U.S. Supreme Court Will Not Hear Voter Education Committee Case

In March the Voter Education Committee (VEC), a 527 organization, sought a constitutional challenge to Washington state law which requires any organization found to support or oppose a candidate or ballot issue to register as a political committee and have their finances regulated. VEC considers the definition of "political committee" to be constitutionally vague. And recently last week on June 2, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the hearing of the case. The Supreme Court decision lets stand the Washington State Supreme Court ruling that VEC should have registered as a political committee.
