Dark Money Gets Darker With Less Disclosure In The 2022 Elections

Dark Money Gets Darker With Less Disclosure In The 2022 ElectionsThere is a need to enforce more stringent rules on the disclosure if the problem of dark money will be addressed. In stark contrast to this ideal, however, dark money is getting darker with less disclosure in the 2022 midterms. This article by Anna Massoglia is published by Open Secrets. Here is an excerpt:

Dark money is pouring into U.S. elections, but the vast majority of it is not being disclosed to the Federal Election Commission. 

The 2022 election cycle has already attracted more than $115 million in contributions from and spending by 501(c) groups reported to the FEC, OpenSecrets’ new analysis found. 

Many of the top spenders on so-called “issue” ads that mention candidates are politically-active nonprofits that do not disclose their donors. Issue ads aired on TV or radio are only required to be disclosed in the weeks leading up to an election, and online ads that avoid expressly advocating for an election outcome are not required to be disclosed at all.
